1969 MANLY Rugby League World

According to that article Dennis Ward was even smaller than Tooves. Same height but a couple of pounds lighter. He was only 16 when he debuted in first grade at Canterbury.

Only 16 on his debut and smaller than Tooves ? He must have been a tough bugger to survive the brutal 70's
Most small bodies do come with big hearts
 
Les Hanigan used to board with my Grandmother (father's side).

Met him several times; he only drank tea. Looked very young, small, not your typical footballer and allegedly someone commented once that he was a Kangaroo, as he did a tour with them.

The reply was "so was Skippy".
Could be 100% wrong but didn't Les Hanigan have the Brookie pub for a while? Maybe publican?
