Somewhere in an old scrapbook I have a poster of Rod in the early pioneer kit. His shop looks a bit bare, maybe I should send him it for his wall.

Rod [ Rocket } Jackson and Max Brown , both very handy wing recruits from the Bulldogs in the 70 "s
Both premiership winners .
Think that Rod was marking the Eels Nevile Glover in that epic 76 G F and when Nev dropped the pill with a good chance of scoring in the corner at a critical time .
Apparently deemed a bombed try but had the impression that Wombat was still coming across in cover .

Funny you mention Max, I met him through my work at St George Bank. He was a nice guy, I helped him submit an AFCA complaint (against St George) during my resignation period
