JIMMY LEIS!
Wests Magpies Legend back in the day .......
"Jimmy’s entrance into first grade in 1980 was nothing short of a sensation.
As seen in the attached photo, this classic post-match moment captures Jimmy sitting down after a fiery clash against the Penrith Panthers at Lidcombe Oval - his first-ever home game for the Magpies -
proudly letting his four fingers tell the story of the spectacular four tries he bagged that day."

When Great Britain captain Garry Schofield moved to Sydney, he joined the Balmain Tigers for the 1985, 1986 and 1987 NSWRL seasons.
He quickly became one of the competition's standout players, earning the rare distinction for a British footballer of finishing as the NSWRL's joint leading try-scorer in 1986, crossing for 13 tries to share the honour with Manly-Warringah's Phil Blake.
Schofield also played a key role in Balmain's success in the 1985 National Panasonic Cup, helping the Tigers claim the prestigious midweek trophy.
