Who Am I ? (apr02)

[legend]

Ok, it has to be someone from the Sharks side of 1973. They had a vicious brawl against Manly and as we know, have never won a Grand Final. We just need a team list of that game and we should be able to figure it out.

 

[miss eel]

I think you will find that the player who was sent off in a wild brawl was not sent off ina grand final game. Because these are the only players that I know of that have been sent off in a grand final. Bryan Orrock (Souths) and Hec Farrell (Wests) in 1952 Harry Bath (St George) and Rex Mossop (Manly) in 1959 Brian Wright (Easts) and Kevin Ryan (St George) in 1960 Billy Wilson (St George) in 1962 Phil Sigsworth (Canterbury) in 1986.
I will go for Geoff Bugden.

 

[Willow]

No not Geoff Bugden.
But you're right Miss Eel. I never saidI was sent off in a grand final.
"I was involved in a vicious match brawl which sawme sent off."

 

[imported_justme]

Hmm, must be front row Cronulla 78 or CBury 79

What about Geoff Robinson?

 

[imported_the bug]

Youve done it again !!!

Can I try a few?
I thought he won GFs but was it Geoff Gerrard?
or
Terry Leabeater
Stan Jurd
Les BooooooooooooYYYyyyyyd (sorry MFC)
Graeme Olling
Denis Fitzgerald (pfffft)
Don McKinnon

 

[Willow]

No, none of those are right.
Not

Geoff Robinson

Geoff Gerard
Terry Leabeater
Stan Jurd
Graeme Ollig
Denis Fitsgerald
Don McKinnon

Les Boyd has been said already...I don't think we can ever have Les Boyd... far too popular with the guesses.

 

[imported_justme]

LOL Fitzgerald would never have been sent off, if there was abrawl he would have run off

Olling didn't play in the 80's and Leabeater won a GF in 86, Gerrard played in 2 losing GF's for Manly, 82 & 83

Did McKinnon play for Manly in 82?

 

[imported_justme]

There was a pommy front rower who played for the sharkies in the 78 GF but I can't remember his name.

I hate you Willow

 

[imported_the bug]

I am a forward.
Lost theonly grand final I played in.

New clues:
