I saw the add for this and am keen to go. It makes it closer to home that Roy Masters taught at my school in Tamworth before coming to Sydney (Penrith initially) and gave a pep talk to a team I played in before we went out and won a State Title. Great days they were and the hatred was intense and there were no video refs or trial by video in those days. It was so tough with knees, elbows, late tackles and all sorts of dirt.
