Second most handsome NRL player to play the great game.

Benji as number one and Bruiser Clarke as number 3.

Back then and I still feel it today, the tackle that finished Jarrod McCracken also finished us that year.

"McCracken's football career came to a premature end in round 15 of the 2000 NRL competition in a game against the Melbourne Storm, when Storm players Stephen Kearney (a long time Kiwis team mate and in later years test second-row partner) and Marcus Bai performed a dangerous spear tackle on him, inflicting a career-ending neck injury."

He could pull the Ladies round Port Mac when he was young. Never forget the time he winked at me while standing at the bar with 3 glamours under his arms.

Now he is not a pretty man. He needed to learn the art of the duck and weave, and that’s not a knitting technique.

the black pearl, that 1988 stint with balmain showed how good he was
Then went to Magpies next year, if he had stayed with balmaon maybe 89 might have been different
Andy Currier was a pretty solid player and handy goal kicker
