Think north of the nsw border for a "heavenly" team, a prolific try scorer who put on 99 tries in his competition.

he got a double against us in both games in03.i was at both of them.i dont think he retired.he had an extremely bad injury but he did not retire.

Sorry - I didn't want it to be "that" hard. I was after Heath Egglestone, playing for the Central Queensland Comets based in Rockhampton. Scored two tries in the trial in 2003, announced his retiremnet at the end of the season and made a surprise comeback in 2004. Played against Manly as an interchange in the 2004 trial game and went on to score 99 tries in the Qld Cup. He may actually come back this year to get the one that got away. He has played against many big names and is a legend.

Great question MB but too hard for me! How is that guy associated with heaven?

 

[ManlyBacker]

CW, that was the "heavens" as in Comets. Anyway I think I had my lateral cap on way too tight today! 🙂

 

[Canteen Worker]

Keep up the good questions! I will think of a few more over the public holiday.

Dont want to draws a fine line here MB but that should have been said as: 'THE' Heavens!
