Phil Blake and John Simon too.
Forgot Blake, but again as I recall he played just one game, off the bench in 89?
Simon should never have been near origin, but yeah forgot about him altogether

Trivia:
There were a number of Kiwi Warriors playing in the Superleague rebel SOO series of course....the one where we got ripped off by the Ref stopping a a late NZ Try to prevent Millions in losses for a NZ final.
An anomaly of the History books , though they did play the real Queensland team with the majority of the Queensland side being Broncos......Nth Queensland the Dogs and Canberra all sported significant Queensland Reps in the Superleague.
the ARL SOO was equally as limited in it's relevance that year since it had a patch work Queensland team in lieu of the Kiwis playing the real one.

Being an ARL follower, I disagree... the Superleague SOO was a non-event, the real one in which Vautin coached the bunch of no names to beat a VERY strong NSW side was magic - I've always supported NSW, but that was very special

That was the 1995 series...
The SL/ARL split season occurred in 1997.
While that 1995 series contained only ARL players... It's unfair to compare that series which was the marquee domestic rep series of that year to SL series that happened in the split season.
You should be comparing the origin series in 1997.
For sure, he was one of the best onfield and is certainly a big step up from Lowrie.
The only question in my mind is whether we really need another back rower. But yeah...perhaps with elite players it's a case of 'beggars can't be choosers' for us at the moment
:lol::lol: yeah. I trust the he's not elite, he's overpaid, he's only any use with the 'big 3' and he's just another Lowrie discussions can be ended now...
A fine back rower, very fine
:lol:
Nothing is proven yet...
That Lowrie/Nielsen comparison will end when he performs for the Warriors next year.
I remember Dane Nielsen also coming off a great performance in origin before coming to the Warriors.
