With The Benefit Of Hindsight....

I recall he won us 3 games in a row in 2004, by kicking sideline conversions.

As well as steering back to back (I think) comebacks against the Warriors and NQ in 2003.

I think if he came through at a different club or at a time with less pressure on Eels halfbacks he'd be remembered as a very good footballer. Being at the Eels, and then getting a huge contract for a rookie, and then being cut loose almost straight away I feel like it messed him up and he wasn't the same after.

I agree, mate - I remember a kid who had a lot of talent, but struggled at the Eels.

He went to the Warriors, and Manly, and had a decent career - but he never reached his full potential.

I enjoyed watching him play, though.

My favourite Witty memory was when I think Mick Crocker or someone thugged it up again and threw a punch at him, and Witt just towelled him up in the blink of an eye

Yeah, I remember that!

The commentators were saying that Witty was a junior boxing champion, or something, a d were laughing their heads off when Witty cleaned his clock!
