Remember Wayne wearing a big arm guard on his forearm (similar to what Mal Meninga wore) for a large part of his latter career.

I can always remember the fight at Campbelltown where Simonds and Geyer went at it, the team melee spilling over the sideline on the grandstand side ... great days. 🤣

And a lovely human. I worked with him in the early '90s and he was one of my favourite people ever. RIP Dave ❤️

That would have been fantastic. Bet he had some brilliant stories to tell.
