Not to long after that game Penrith played on the Gold Coast. Afterwards they were in a pub where Wally and some of the Seagulls were as well. Some people got nervous seeing Wally and MG in the same room but Wally went over with 2 schooners and a jug of bear for him and Geyer and they sat down talking. They have been in contact ever since.

Really shows that Lewis is an all round good guy

Wally was an arsehole, one of the reason's why he was the best.

But not always:

'When Lewis’s face was shown on the big screen at the ground, the crowd booed wildly and the heckling continued as he spoke after receiving the Ashes Trophy.
Lewis was public enemy number one in Sydney after his magnificent efforts leading Queensland to three straight series wins over New South Wales. But there was no excuse for the behavior of spectators, given he was captain of his country on the day.
In the 1970s, when NSW dominated Qld in the pre-Origin days, Lang Park supporters always got behind their Australian side, even when it was made up entirely of players from south of the border.
And they never booed an Australian skipper. Wally was booed, even though he effectively vacated centre stage to allow the old warrior, Ray Price the honor of being carried from the field in his farewell Test. Bitter rivals, on and off the field, Lewis hoisted Price on to his shoulders at one stage.
In Adrian McGregor’s brilliantly written ‘King Wally’, Lewis said and he and Queensland and Australian teammate, Mal Meninga had the same attitude towards the Sydney crowds.
“We’d kick their arses. Goodbye" '

Warrington team from 4th March,1973.

In the back row on the far left is John Grant, yes the former leader of the NRL.

Grant had played for Australia in the World Cup in France in 1972 then stayed on in England for a guest stint with Warrington in the 1972/73 season.
