Gus sacked luke lewis...haha.

Was part of his 5 year plan to win a gf.

Or for us to win one.

Gus didn't sack Luke Lewis. Gus removed captaincy from him during the Origin period.
Gus then recognised there were too many players on high salaries and approached Lewy about which player should be released.
Being a stand up person, Lewy didn't want to see any young players leave and he asked for a release to free cap pressure.

Thats Luke's words. Straight from his book. He and Gus both broke down in tears when he asked for the release.

Not wanting to start a new thread - a lot of the time last night, Panfas and Tiges looked like reserve graders.

Missed the big finish!

It was Ivan Cleary I think you'll find. Reasons have never been satisfactorily explained but chances are there were rumblings of discontent. Gus has always been a huge Lewis fan.

Obviously no player is going to put something that might paint himself in a poor light in a book written after retirement.

I was gonna start a thread, had it written...titled “the good, the bad & the ugly”. Then couldn’t be arsed.

My point was, how many ugly teams are there!

Agree completely Bluefox.

And imo they were a step up from what the Tits had on show.

Anyone who thinks we can expand with extra teams just needs to watch those games.

Lewys book states it was Gus. I’ll go with that.

That's not the reason or he would have been captain again after Origin was over.
Again, I will take the words written that could get him sued over some bloke on the web saying otherwise.
