Rugby league history

(A tinsy PS to the story above remembering Mick Alchin .......)

After retiring as a player, 'Mad' Mick Alchin, who died this week, took up coaching with Parramatta Eels reserve grade.
One day, the board called him in, furious, and set to sack him.
Why?
He dropped a club stalwart and put a skinny 18yo no one had heard of into his team.
The kid?
B Kenny.

One day,

It just proves that a coach is always a better selector than a board of a club,sooner or later the morons at our club will realise the same although with Denny there it could take many many years.
