News: ‘Big Artie’ salutes one who got away

The great man, Arthur Beetson, praising one of our own.

Beetson was my first hero as a kid, followed by Terry Randall.

I remember watching them both play reserve grade one day at Brookvale (I think it was) on the comeback from injuries.

Yep the good old days with reserve grade.

 

Talking about games under his belt, Georgie has a fair bit of something above his belt too. I would like to see him fitter and sleeker. He was approaching Origin form when he was first injured and if fully fit, could be a smokey for that level. He is important to us as he adds impact when he takes the paddock.

 

When in form he provides us with our best go-forward option. Obviously I'm a big fan!

He's certainly carrying a few extra kilos at the moment but that is to be expected from a guy his size when coming back from injury. Give him a few weeks and then - watch out!
