Matty Rieck definitely had cult status. Hutch as well. Dunno about Corey Hughes and Eion Crossan

I've got one. 1995. It's got a number and a nswrl badge on it.
That would make it a 94 one

I've got the 95 one(wore it round 1 LIKE A BOSS) and it has the ARL logo, the 96 had the optus logo around it I believe?

And f**k you if you don't think Crossan had a cult?! Who was that bloke we got from SA rugby in the 90s?

Geez I just remembered who would be my hooker.

Ron Turner. The man from Gunnedah. Played prop and/or second rower. Could run like the wind for a hooker and played for Oz in the 1970 World Cup

Gained cult status during the '73 grand final when he put that pommie merkin Mal Reilly out of the game with a wicked, wicked charge while Reilly was kicking.

Yeah, Ron Turner. Hard, hard merkin

Vincey Farrar,

Slippery Arms McMartin (we called him that because at the end of every scrum he was usually flat on the ground)

Corcers.... the flying Ray

Flash Taylor

Freddy Dennehy

Cliffy

Sir Thomas

Davo snotting stains.

Sirro

Kneen

Panda

Critter

Re Corcoran, we used to love watching him play to see who would get into strife for not covering for him missing tackles. I remember one time Maguire got dropped because they scored three tries on Rays wing.

One I loved watching was Graham Wilson. Dad of the Wilsons. He came over in the twighlight of his career to the early sharks. I can still remember one of his bullocking tries he scored in a reserve grade game. Dropping shoulders and using the hips, he busted tackle after tackle in a long run into the north west corner of the ground.

So many good memories ....

Jack Danzey @ Sutho oval and an up and under that landed on the road outside the ground.

Hogan.

John Monie

Boxer was a cult because his family run a funeral business.

----------------------------------

All these memories. It's just like what Bob Rodgers said "Come on fellows, pull yourselves together.
