The likes of Galea, Ellis, Prince etc

They're the sort to take the club to the next level

Good mentors for the juniors coming thru the ranks

So different.
I mean three very different players.

Prince clearly has learned a lot with the Tigers, then Titans and Brisbane. Prince really lifted the Titans side as when he was in that team they seemed to finish on the right side of top 8, more then not. Take him out and the team suffered.

Galea is a sure and true back. But has the game moved on? IMHO if I was to bring someone it would be John Morris or Josh Morris. Josh Morris has been regarded as a extremely good centre and I think he shows the right attitude. John Morris has a stack of experience with the Sharks and now Souths that he would be exactly the kind of basic skills coach we need.

Ellis, Sure he brings a great Motor and attitude with him. Yet would he really relocate from Britain to here?
Why not just hire Burgess or GRaham or any roaming Brit with a deep voice.
Personally I rate small front rowers so much more then the big guys. Liam Fulton, Gilmeister, Dallas Johnson, When you see a small guy trounce a big guy at the same sport, that small guy knows what they are doing.
 
Speaking of Dorahy - I'm still trying to find a clip of that try he scored in 86/87(?) where he conned the defenders into thinking the ball had rolled dead in the in goal, ran through their astonished cover and went the length of the field to score. My mates think I made the story up and now I'm beginning to doubt it really did happen!

Found this posted on front row forum -
John Dorahy playing for Norths against Manly in a mid-week Cup game in the eighties. He was fullback, and he was retrieving a kick from the dead ball line. The kick didn't go dead but he pretended it did just for long enough to stop the defence smashing him. He walked it over the tryline, then took off.

Funniest thing you have seen during a game?

Mark Riddell's try celebration a few years back at Dairy Farmer's where he hopped the fence, took a seat in the empty area and applauded towards the field was good stuff. Absolute pearler that was, pissed myself for 10mins after that.....it was at WIN Stadium though at the northern stand end...

I remember him conning the defenders, that definitely happened. I don't remember him running the length to score though. Plus he was pretty old by the time he got to Norths,I doubt he could have done it.

It's been that way for years. Another reason to dislike Pascoe as CEO. If you're about excellence these things just don't happen.
