      Under-rated.
      He'd be great today, with this salary cap stuff and all.

      I liked him as a winger, he was nearly worth a quarter Mullins , and approached half a Fahey.
      Roosters through and thru...........

              Thanks for your comments - wow what a classic combo. I recall Smith coming over to league I think he played with Souths from memory. Did he play rep rugby with Brass or later with Hawthorne or Ballesty? Can you recall Stephen ? I really admired Brass' style - the complete footballer.

                Knox are probably the worst of the lot maybe tied with Kings, Both just filthy on the field and their teachers no better.

                I saw a Kings teacher go off at the opp school coach once because his student may have hurt his foot, when he put the boot into a player lying hurt on the ground,.

                          Also, how did Scots start getting decent footy players? When I was a lad, Scots and Cranbrook were always the whipping boys. Our team was shyte but I always remember we'd play like the Garlem Globetrotters against both of them in rugby and basketball.

                          Kings and Joeys were alright. My greatest claim to fame was getting kicked off for... stuff then running back on from the sin bin to tackle Matt Burke after he got a linebreak (which the ref totally missed somehow). Aaaah the days when I brushed with fame.
                          What school did you go to?
