[KHunt]

Correct.
Not Wally

Not Wynn? I was watching footage of the first origin with the Beetson brawl. Wynn took on one of the queenslanders and Beetson wasnt happy and started throwing punches at him. I think the Cronin thing was when Cronin had the ball and Beetson charged up and put a high shot on him.. no fights happened from that incident though.

 

[Loudstrat]

From my readings on the subject, it was Paul McCabe who Beetson hit. Anyway.....

ROUND 6 - Name the player who......



65 - Famously claimed he would never again play in the ARL, three seasons before he played his final game in the ARL

Can't be Laurie Daley. After 1997, Laurie played out his career with the Canberra Raiders in the National Rugby League. Laurie retired in 2000. Very poor research Misty,

Laurie Daley did say he would never play in the ARL. But he did end up playing in it. He said it in 1995 he would never play in it and he did so in 1996.

 

[Green Machine]

Laurie Daley did say he would never play in the ARL. But he did end up playing in it. He said it in 1995 he would never play in it and he did so in 1996.

The question was 3 years later, not a year later.

I don't know what happened to this thread.
Anywho I'm going for some Brad Fittler questions both personal and on-the-field (some of these will be good for guessing):

1. Which player was jailed the same night Freddy was jailed in Mexico?
2. What major surprise did a woman have for Freddy when she arrived at his house?
3. How much bigger was the offer made to Freddy by the ARL compared to the Super League?
4. Which player did Freddy tell 'F*** you stink'?
5. Who gave Freddy the nickname...Freddy?
6. How many positions did Freddy start a first grade match in?
7. Who is the only first grade team Freddy played that he didn't score a try against?
8. STORYTIME. In an overseas tour, Freddy played for the Kangaroos second team, the Emus and, as the only person who could kick in the team, he was selected to go in a goalkicking competition against three rugby kickers with nine kicks each. He would be given 200 quid to do it, and the winner would be paid 2,000 quid. Two of the kickers got nine from nine, one got eight. How many did Freddy get?
9. Which year was the last time Freddy was on the bench?
10. Freddy was one of four Panthers named in the 1991 Kangaroo tour. Who were the other three?
11. Who did Freddy nearly kill one day before his daughter was born?
12. When Phil Gould first discussed if Freddy left Penrith, who were the three clubs he said Freddy should go to?
