Loyal as hell too. Type of guy you
say to him look, we're going on a
mission I need you. And his response is when and where. Old school kinda guy

Bryce Gibbs would have to be one of the quickest for a book end, big man, big heart and deceptively quick, run down a winger.

 

[Cobarcats]

Bryce Gibbs.

Best ever WT defender.

Big motor, big heart.

 

[Merlot]

Big motor, big heart.

big marshmellow,at least he buried his head not turn his back at the line

Just watched 2007 WT v Sharks classic close games on Fox. Wt 14-12 in golden point.
Crowd at Campbelltown 17,566.
I hope Sheensy has improved his tactics for next year !

Before State of Origin came to be, this pic is from a 1974 interstate match at Lang Park:
NSW halfback, Tommy Raudonikis wallows in the mud.
Football is not just a game - to Tommy winning WAS everything!

This would have only been a few months after the 1974 floods .....Lang Park was well and truly under water

Brett Hodgson

Same size as Diane Laurie but for some reason Hodgo was x1000 times better

That’s a conservative estimate.

 

[KingRobbie]

That’s a conservative estimate.

Hodgson: 5'9", 78 kg.

Laurie: 5'11", 83 kg.

Players are bigger, in general, these days.

Maybe not as mentally strong

@trentrunciman @happy_tiger
I meant the 1000x better part. I reckon you could throw a couple more zeros at that.
My Pop used to tell me “It’s not the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the dog, but good big fighter should always beat a good little fighter, so be careful out there”.

“Beau knows” was at his best that day.
Great highlights of good win at home.

One of my favourite players together with Marshall, Farah, Ellis, Rob Lui (as a player) and Co. We forget sometimes how young he made his debut and how good he was as a centre. The play first clip highlights the fundamental difference between Sheens and Maguire.

A lot of people forget how good that guy was. It was devastating to see him get that hip injury as he never come back the same. Great clubman that went about his business without any fuss.
