    Take it easy Chef, just a bit of fun.

    I do get your point though.
    In 62 years that whole premiership team will be considered Bullgods, Immortals whatever you want to call them and the Bob Murphy's, Brad Johnson's of this world will be former captains and good players. Such is the nature of the business = winning premierships.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Yep. Premierships and the winning of them are what it's all about. Special players take their opportunities when they present themselves.

    I'm not downplaying Bob Murphy's or Brad Johnson's achievements on the field (I love them both) but the fact is they never got to mount the premiership dais and that's the whole reason we play the game.
    Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?

    FWIW, I'm okay with Premiership hero but immortal and legend are at another level in my opinion. Bullgod is close.
