Thanks Worlds Biggest – very happy to be here. But this is where I am going to have to pull you up – I was not a Sydney University 2nd grade premiership winner in 2001. It was 3rd grade actually. Beat Eastwood 18 – 14 very comfortably with them getting a late try!!

I like all the assumptions you made Joe. The one I hear has gone from a boy to a man is Curtis Scott. He is still eligible for Holden Cup!

Last year at the Cowboys was 2014 Vincent.

Hey Ron Adam Reynolds out of the Nines big loss for the Rabbitohs. Kasiano with more minutes will be a frightening prospect for the Bulldogs. Skillful and aggressive – add endurance and you have a champion.

Anthony Mitchell is his name Squidward. Met him when he was at the Roosters. Before that Eels and after that Cowboys and then Blackhawks in Q Cup. Played Indigenous All Stars a couple of years as well – really nice bloke.

Are you kidding me? This would be great. Even a commercial success I believe. The appetite for Origin in Qld and NSW is enormous. I remember going to see Run Rabbit Run at the Belvoir St Theatre after the reintroduction of South Sydney. Was a really clever way of retelling history with a personal touch.

Open your eyes (and ears) folks!!

Queensland greats tune up and pack down for rugby league musical
