Remember when Roy Masters told Tom he'd play lock in 1979? One of the greatest ever half-backs said .... OK Roy.

Any relation to the Great Warren Boland?

Champion @Buttface - mate, not sure of that. I can't remember any mention of a connection all those years ago. But it's great to mentioned Warren - not many players have captained a 1st grade team while playing on the wing.
And some trivia too: Bob Boland left the Balmain Tigers to be a member of the inaugural Penrith team when they were admitted into the comp in 1967, while Warren Boland also played for 2 teams - being Balmain Tigers and Wests Magpies.
