Ahh a trip to Hervey Bay bay is long over due. To watch Clifford play is priceless.

If Nathan blackout runs off Cliffy there is going to be a lot of try's.

On this damp night following a wet afternoon up here in Hervey Bay, the Australian Legends 46 defeated the Fraser Coast All Stars 16.

The Australian Legends were also missing Petero Civoniceva, Robbie O'Davis, David Peachey & Antonio Kaufusi from the line up that was reported in my originating post a month ago.

There was a bit of humour too with Hoppa introduced onto the field and playing the entire game with a latex glove on one hand.

He also scored two of the Legends' tries.

Although he was a little slower than he was back in the day when he was playing for Manly, Cliffy still hasn't lost much of the old talent.

Here are a couple of after game photos

Is that a cricket set in your hand?

Jesus, Hoppa looks like he could still play - and @Jethro not gonna lie, that shirt your wearing is pretty cool as well. Dye Cliffy's hair, and he could have probably had a run for us last season, and would have trumped Walker at 5/8.

The one in the pics currently has three days left of Movember and also shows just how much your appearance can change over nine years. Hmmm, maybe it might be time to update my avatar

Nope. It's just my ratty old religious Bunnings umbrella and my new $10 fold out camping chair that I bought from Coles last weekend.

If you are that keen on the shirt, you can pick one up at Target for normally $25 but I noticed that it was on sale today for $19.

League's legends prove they've still got class

THE only difference between the legends at Stafford Park and those when in their prime up to 30 years ago is the rapidly expanding sight of grey hair.

Cliff Lyons is 55-years-old, but the Manly great still has the skill to tear apart the opposition defence.

Lyons was one of 14 former National Rugby League, Origin and International starts in the Australian side against the Fraser Coast All Stars.
