If that's from a few uppercuts, I'm f**ken getting out the way if Roberts throws a straight right...

This one is a very rare one against Queensland Ive never seen this one before, as there are other photos of the team wearing long pants with socks over to top against a Sydney Metro side, looks like a cross code game.

In this photo they are wearing the shorts that are stained of grass and mud, like a true Rugby League game.

This was on the NRL site with the pic.


Fact: There are 110 players in the NRL Hall of Fame – and not one is named Stanley, either Christian or surname.

One character who should be in the Hall of Infamy is Stanley the Steel Avenger.

In 1995 Mr Steel Avenger became the first and only NRL mascot to be sent off by a referee for joining in an on-field brawl.

During the Steelers-Tigers match at Steelers Stadium, Illawarra fullback Brendan O’Meara and Mark O’Neill of the Tigers started some fisticuffs before Stanley joined the fray.

"I looked down and there was Stanley on the deck – I couldn’t believe it!" O’Meara told Windang’s own superhero Steve Mascord who was reporting on the match for the Sydney Morning Herald.


"He was certainly having a go. The ref [Tony Maksoud] just said ‘You, off!’ and Stanley was shattered."

Maksoud confirmed he had marched Stanley: "It was nothing too serious … but he can’t be allowed to touch players under any circumstances. I’ve put it on report."

The Herald reported that the send-off meant Stanley was not eligible to win the Rothman's Medal.





Honourable mascot mention
The mascot for barbecue chicken outlet Red Rooster was attacked by a gang of children after the Western Reds' first home against St George in Perth in 1995. The Paddle Pop Lion came to his aid.

Do they still have Chicken Treat in W.A? From what I recall, they were at least as good as RR

When I was in WA about 18months ago they were still there, had some of their fried pieces from the Margaret River store, bloody nice.

He could walk up to a heavy boxing bag and do his own version of bruce lees one inch punch but with his shoulder and send it flying off its chains. One extremely powerful human being
