Jim Dymock
An Australia national and New South Wales State of Origin representative lock and five-eighth, Jim played club football for Sydney's Western Suburbs Magpies, Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, Parramatta Eels, finishing his career in Super League for the London Broncos. He then embarked on a coaching career, becoming head coach of the Tongan national team. He spent the latter part of the 2011 NRL season as head coach of the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, and is currently the assistant coach of the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks.
In 1993, Dymock joined the Canterbury Bulldogs. Dymock represented Tonga at the 1994 Pacific Cup and in 1995. During the 1995 season, Dymock, along with Dean Pay, Jason Smith and Jarrod McCracken reneged on their Australian Super League contracts, giving 'unfair inducement' as their reason which was later supported in the courts. Although Dymock chose to sign with the Australian Rugby League (ARL) competition, he remained with the Bulldogs for the 1995 season and contributed to the club's grand final win over Manly. Dymock won the Clive Churchill Medal for man-of-the-match. Dymock also played six times between 1995-1996 for Australia. He was part of the successful Australian squad that won the 1995 Rugby League World Cup in England.
Dymock joined the ARL-aligned Parramatta for the start of the 1996 season. Dymock was selected to represent New South Wales as an interchange for all three games of the 1996 State of Origin series. He played for the Eels during the rest of the Super League war and the unification of the Super League and ARL into the current National Rugby League competition. In 1997, he was selected at five-eighth for games I and II of the 1997 State of Origin series, scoring a try in game II, and he was chosen to play at lock in game III of the 1998 State of Origin series. He played 112 games for Parramatta between 1996-2000.
