I see he is on the extended bench and is a prop.

What is his background, how old and how does he play?

 

[Brookie Bob]

I only know that you don't mess with his brother Bill - or his dog

He hails from a small country town called Mungindi

A stones throw from Moree (anything under a 100ks away is considered a stones throw in country lingo.lol)

Very much a stones throw.

Actually poor little Mungindi was crucified during the lockouts , with the Pub / General Store and the towns only Dr in NSW , and 150 metres away , over the bridge in QLD the little hospital and many of the residents.

The Dr could get to the hospital ( essential service ) but any of the NSW residents couldn’t see him.

And if you lived on the QLD side even though the food store was 150 metres away you had to drive 300kms round trip to St George to buy anything.

It’s a fabulous little community , about 300 people.

Most importantly, is he a Mighty Blue or from the wrong side of the river, in cane toad land?

Yeah well that will depend on which side he lived I guess.

About 150 live on the NSW side and maybe the other 200 on the QLD side.

I think he is from exactly on the border.

Can this guy tackle and is he a team player that will give the extra effort on effort that is required for first grade

Or is he just filling a space in the 30?
