What he means Benny, is that we are pompous toffs on this board!

He might not have been a champ but he ceratinly made his teammates walk tall and was a good contributor in some good teams. I didn't approve of his methods as he only hit guys with their head over the ball but he was very valuable.

Remember the N Brown 'bird' $5K game at Telstra Dome when he basically won for North that day by kicking some rippers.

You can't deny his talent. He just didn't have the work ethic to take his game from 'star talent' to 'champion player'.

He certainly played some ripper games over the years, was forceful and skillful at the same time. I actually wanted us to pick him up when he left Port back in 05.
