3. Michael O'Connor

1. was definately a New South Welshmen I know that.

3. was O'Connor, and 1 was Greg Brentnall indeed, my fault there. I thought it was Kerry Boustead, got mistaken for the first Queenslander to score in origin.

Jeez looking back on the 1980's origin highlights, O'Connor was a fantastic player to watch.. might have to put up some videos of him.

 

[Non Terminator]

Easy mistake to make. I have a day off tomorrow, so I could try and come up with some good questions.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Who am I?

Although originally from the north coast of NSW, I played most of my Rugby League career in another state. I started my career for a Sydney club, before playing one season with another club, which has since been axed. Going to my third club I was fortunate to score the club's first ever try. Since then I have represented both state and International level. My last game was a disappointing one, a loss in my first and only Grand Final appearence.

Scotty Hill?

[Non Terminator]

[KHunt]

Who was the first Queensland based player to play for New South Wales?

 

[NK Arsenal]

Michael de Vere? Luke Priddis?

 

[Spike]

I know Chris Johns played before those two, but I'm thinking it was someone who played in the QLD Cup in the early 80s.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

You're probably right on Johns.

If not Id say Terry Matterson, I know they both debuted in the same series, 1989.

 

[Spike]

I've got a Q:

Who am I?

Born in 1977, I played my junior footy for Parramatta before switching to Balmain where I made my first grade debut in the late 90s. I switched to another Sydney club and my only other club, but did not see any first grade footy for another 3 years and only played a total of 19 first grade games for this club. I represented the CRL Firsts in the second annual ARL quad series involving an affliliated states side, Queensland Country side and a Jim Beam Cup side.

 

[innsaneink]

James Webster?

 

[Spike]

Not Meggsie

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Trent Robinson?

David McLean?

Although I dont know if Robinson was a Parra junior, but McLean was definately from Wentworthville.

 

[Loudstrat]

I'm thinking of new questions.
These are the answers Loudstrat had:

The City Question - Bob Fulton
The Country Question - Paul Sironen.

Yeah, Lyon the *%#@^ is correct.

Bob Fulton was 19 when he captained City in 1967.

 

[Spike]

Trent Robinson?

David McLean?

Although I dont know if Robinson was a Parra junior, but McLean was definately from Wentworthville.

McLean is correct
