I have glaucoma and poor vision, would love to know who all these legends are, could someone please put names to them all?
Thanks
My best guess Hughes *4, Mortimer, Robinson, Mason, Omeley, Gillespie, Goodwin, Turner, Thomas, Sherwin, Ryan, Elmasri, Langmack, Kelly, Morrin, Gould, Perry, Cardon Halatau, Payne, Young, Asotasi, Graham, Tangata Toa, Potter, Lamb, Ciraldo *2 - two i have no idea

Perry looks like Mahoney at first glance
This legend helps you out ;)

Kyle Flanagan just read that and went running into his mums and dads too and burst into tears LOL
So Gus has tweeted over the last few weeks that 1 and 7 are needed now he expects Rajab to debut as a 7. Flanagan should be either worried or up for the challenge

Gus said he may debut next year and see's his best position is 7.
That doesn't mean he'll debut at 7 Rajab can cover a few positions probably a 14.

Correct me If I'm wrong but was Adam Perry and Correy Hughes rotation the trailblazers in hooker rotations?
I don't think we were the first ones to have a hooker rotation with one on the bench, but I can almost guarantee you that we would have been the first and probably only club to go into a Grand Final with only 2 Forwards + 1 Hooker (Corey) & 1 Half Back (JT) on the bench. A fact that for mine is definitely under appreciated - This tells you how tough our Forwards were.

We did it and we beat probably the strongest team of that era in the big dance.

We may have been however the first team to have 2 of those 3 on the field at the same time, with one playing a roving role similar to what many clubs have only just started doing now. With Shifty & Anasta not coming off at all, JT & Corey both had stints as that roving player.

Anasta was shit all night long. Shifty had a 10/10 game with the boot.

Guessing these old boys are back or still affiliated with the club? This is great to see. So many memories from these players.
