oh yeah it was Koopu!

All I remember was an afro dude smashing him while on the ground.

Not Walker. I already said that and it wasn't him. I thought it was purely for the kicking and such.

23. Big Mick must be right. I remember Carl Webb having a strong finish to 2004 with Brisbane which would have made him decide on this.

Got an extension/upgrade
Most consecutive games
Parramatta
Half of the Roosters players were Souths juniors (just a wild guess)
Steve Menzies
Timana Tahu
Richard Swain
Three
Really sorry but all were incorrect

1. Richard villasanti........ Tool lost them the GF- I was at the game was the turning point....

11. This is my local- his team would have been the ourimbah magpies / Central coast storm...this is when they (mason Myles )played for the jets....recall the face not the name...

24- Mick Ennis????
Unfortunately it wasn't Villasanti. You're on the right track with 11, but 24 was incorrect.

11- is Dale Langford


Didn't see the second part of question 1... was probably Cayless, Fitzgibbon or Morley

23. Who did Mark Geyer name "the best buy of 2005" before the season began?- Ben Kennedy?
Bingo! 11 most certainly is Dale Langford, works with my best mate at Tall Timbers haha. Morley is right in the second part, still need the tackler and the second hitter. Kennedy is incorrect.

1. Wairangi Koopu and was it Morley and Kidwell who put shots on him ?
16. I'll go with Ben Walker
23. Assuming Ben Kennedy is wrong, I'll go with Ruben Wiki at the Warriors
WELL DONE! It was Koopu who made the hit! Morley was one...Kidwell...sorry incorrect there! As Meatloaf said, 2/3 ain't bad. 16 and 23 are incorrect.

It wasn't Luke Dorn...lol
Haha, nope mate.

First player to put a get out clause to go to Rugby Union?
Paul Vautin?
7 tries in a match vs University in 1935
Brisbane Broncos?
Chad Randall
Carl Webb - Brisbane to Cowboys
I thought i'd answered this one before?
4 I think..
On question five (Gower contract) you are damn close! Vautin is incorrect (doesn't need a wig lol), that seven tries in a match is incorrect, someone has eight. Broncos is incorrect but Randall is correct, well done. The last two are incorrect as well, bad luck but well done on Randall!

23. Big Mick must be right. I remember Carl Webb having a strong finish to 2004 with Brisbane which would have made him decide on this.
Keep looking through those signings haha, good luck.

16. Brendan Reeves
T'was Randall, but hell I loved Reeves.

1. Who made the hit that dazed Brad Fittler in the 2002 Grand Final, and which two players made big hits on this player afterwards?

Rod O'Loan (South Australia) was an Australian rugby league footballer for the Eastern Suburbs club in the New South Wales Rugby Football League premiership.
O'Loan was originally from South Australia before moving to the New South Wales township of Newcastle. In 1933 O'Loan moved to Sydney were he joined and spent two seasons playing for the University rugby league club. In 1935 he and University team mate, Ross McKinnon, joined the Eastern Suburbs club where he appeared in 82 matches in the years (1935-41). In a match between Eastern Suburbs and his old club University in 1935 he scored a club record seven tries in a 61-5 win. This tally stood second (behind Frank Burge's eight tries in 1920) on the list of most individual tries in a premiership match. He scored 27 tries that season. O'Loan was a speedy winger who scored over 100 tries in his career. He won four Premierships in his time at the Tri colours: 1935, 1937, 1037 and 1940. He gained one cap playing for Australia

So i'm thinking...:

- First ever South Australian born player to play NSWRL?
- Most tries in a season for a winger?

This was 100 % I bet my nuts on it villasanti- I was at the game and saw it with my own eyes...

The other tackler Fletcher....or crocker....Fletcher seems to ring a bell
