I know Lynch was an exceptional player. Do you think he was better than either Dick Thornett or Bob O'Reilly? What's your opinion, Pete?
Yes..I would have Ron Lynch over both Dick and The Bear..Gees Thirsty was consistent, Rarely played a bad game. Scored a try off a Bob Bugden goal kick which rebounded off the goal posts to put Parra into the 1963 preliminary final beating Balmain 7-6.....BUT, in saying that I was a huge fan of both Dick and The Bear. Bear actually played with Brian Hambly, Dick and Ron Lynch when he first burst onto the scene - and I think the opportunity to play with this great trio helped shape his career...certainly would have learned a lot from just mixing with them.
