Yes, rest in peace.

Now there's a fine achievement, a "statue' in the form of an everlasting trophy built in your honour.

RIP Arthur Summons.

There’s also a wonderful interview with Jack Gibson below in that link.

Rest in peace Arthur.

Another great Arthur lost to our game, most unfortunate.

Rest In Peace Arthur Summons, Rugby league just lost a titan of the sport, here he is playing on a mud patch, and listen to that soft cock Cartwright, Boyd (Darius) Latrell whinging about everything I swear if I had one wish I would trade places with my grandfather and be in my 20-30’s in the 50’s and 60’s.

This could be off-topic, or not, depending;
;
I can never work out how musicians remember all the notes to play, and what drums to bang when.
Watched some Elton John videos on YouTube yesterday.
There he was, talked about the song then started playing the piano, and singing at the same time mind you.
Fingers hitting all the right notes, voice singing all the right words and notes.
It's 'ridiculous' no one should be able to do that.

And I can never ever ever understand how I can sit in my living room, pick up a piece of plastic, push a couple of buttons, and watch the Roosters playing in a footy match on the other side of the world, at all...let alone live, and in colour, and in High Definition colour.
It's 'ridiculous', that has no right to be happening, and in my lifetime too.
I was age 10 before tv arrived here.
I was 12 and still mixing up ink at school, putting it in an inkwell and dipping a nibbed pen in it with which to write.

He was a true gladiator of our sport, unlike a certain other person that likes to be known as such.

The one who "likes to be known as such" made a lot more money.

Money isn't everything though, depending on one's point of view.

At Peter Wynn's 'Score' shop at Parra there is a plaque on the wall [ or used to be] quoting Jack Gibson:

"A player can have speed, skill, strength, and courage...but the question I ask is; can I win with him?"

Hey, there's Jack's fur coat in that interview!
IMAGINE if Trent were to wear a fur coat today.

Very interesting interview.
Very very interesting, right from the master coach's mouth.
