Eels trivia thread

[hh]

What do you get for answering the bonus question???

Steve Edge??

Bob linder????

 

[PB]

No and No.

Linder did play for the Steelers and Australia for a season, but does not hail from the region.

Still one name to get....

Good luck.

I think a further clue should be given.....

 

[sportive cupid]

oh and I think David Riolo played for the Eels once upon a time didn't he?

Danny Crankivich has some ties with Wollongong as well I think.

David Riolo didn't play for AUS.....
Danny Crnkovich!!!! He is one of my favourite all time players!!!!

What's the answer PB?

Sorry i forgot about this question.

Four Eels who played for Australia and hailed form the Gong

John Simon
Mick Cronin
Joe Jorgenson
Grahem Lye

And as a bonus, one of them introduced a ritual/tactic which was apart of league for over 50 years before fading out only recently. WHo was it and what was it he introduced

The answer here is Joe Jorgenson. He is regarded as the first player to stop stubbing his toe in the ground, and used sand as a mound for goal kicking.
