Wally Lewis once said he feared Chris Mortimer the most at origin time. He had craziness in his eyes when he ran out for the blues.I heard the same story about Chris, though i heard instead of staples it was pins he pulled out of his hand that were holding his bones together. Ouch. Bloody tough.

Exactly! I remember walking down Burwood Rd Belmore after the 2004 GF and telling my brother's to soak up the atmosphere, you'll never know when we'll win another oneGoes to show you gotta savour moments like Bobcat smashing Crocker and winning a competition if you're lucky enough to experience them
Been watching the dogs for over 45 years. Seen all our greats except Les Johns.
Fastest: Steve Mortimer & Jonathan Davies. They even look and play similar.
Toughest: Terry Lamb & David Gillespie
Smartest: Steve Mortimer & Terry Lamb. Statistically the best halves combination of all time despite what today's "experts" think. They played 5 seasons together, made 4 GF and won 3 of them. Incredible 60% premiership strike rate. The only other halves that comes close is Sterlo and Kenny. 13 seasons together, made 5 GF and won 4. 31% premiership strike rate which is half of Mortimer and Lamb. Head to head in the years they played against each other its Mortimer/Lamb 3 GF wins- Sterlo/Kenny 1.
Most Talented: Steve Mortimer (13 seasons), Jonathan Davies (1 season) and Ben Barba (2012 only).
MVP: Steve Mortimer - our only player to lead us to 6 GF and win 4 of them. Best player I've ever seen.
No. They both played in 84, 86 and 88 GF. Lamb missed 85 GF due to injury.Lamb- Mortimer played in one grand Final 1984
Mortimer missed most of the ‘88 GF too, recovering from a broken arm. He came on for a cameo in the last 10min, heavily strapped and when the game was won - as it was his last game for the club.No. They both played in 84, 86 and 88 GF. Lamb missed 85 GF due to injury.
Yes I know. Turvey was injured during the year but still had a considerable impact on the team. I remember a match that year with the Dogs behind on the scoreboard and getting dominated, Turvey comes off the bench and with his first touch of the ball splits the defence and the Dogs score a try within that same movement. The turning point of the game and the Dogs go on to win. He only played 20 minutes but wins man of the match. That game wasn't against a bog average side - it was at Lang park against a virtual Origin Brisbane side led by Langer and "Immortal" Wally Lewis.Mortimer missed most of the ‘88 GF too, recovering from a broken arm.
