Help on a player

[Starkers]

Does anyone know anything about a bloke called Mick Lubinskas that played with Wests throughout the 1970's and early 80's?

Strange request i know, just need to get a general feel for what he was like...ta

He's a top bloke. Likes a beer.

He coached 12's at Concord in about '74 when I played against em.

He was also the central figure in "The Lubinskas Affair"

His name is spelled: Mick Liubinskas. With an "i".

I reckon that makes it tricky finding stuff on him Starkers.

Prop forward from the centres, played with Wests 1974-78, Balmain 1979.

That's from the RL Players Encylcopedia.

The 'Liubinskas affair'... would that have been the illegal replacement thing when Wests were stripped of a comp point in 1975?

It ultimately forced Wests into a three-way play-off for a semi-final spot.

about 6ft 4...

Wests second rower from memmory..dark hair with a big moustache..a good player - he actually resides in the Cabarita area - bought a new house there about 18 months ago..funnily enough i saw him at the Cabo grog shop about 3 days ago..still looks pretty fit -- Funny story he used to date a Mirror page 3 girl in about 1978- one night he and his girl were leaving reflections wine bar in Burwood road...i opened the door and it hit his girl right on the end of her snozz...i immediately turned 4 different colours of purple, esp when i saw him standing behind her lol --- he understood and so did she good people -

The Maggies had a bit of a re-union at Wests last nite, I got to have a bit of a chat with him, top bloke... he was pleasant to chat with despite it being the back end of the nite :alcho:....he still looks as fit as, but boy...Bruiser Clark has grown

 

[yappy]

Bruiser looks like he's eaten an opposition front row (not front rower - front row) BIG lad.

 

[The Popper]

Bad luck he's best known for that replacement incident because he was a damned good player.

Top bloke and yes he does love a beer.
I played with him at Concord United in 1971 and 72.
