Tommy Talau

Trivia alert - I played a few games against him when he was a centre for North Curl Curl - they had a great centre pairing of Terry and my old mate Bruce (Broomer) Yaldwyn who was a fireman at Narrabeen (a few years later)
Thanks for sharing feathers friend
It would be a great honor playing with or against The Legendary 4 Time Manly Premiership Winner
I only had the honor to talk to him and shake his hand and that was quite a Great Honor for me Too ...
Proudly Sing with me feathered friend ...
Here′s to our heroes,
Those few who dare,
Heading for Premiership Winning glory,
Living a prayer.

Here′s to our heroes
Who Were the Manly Benchmark Best
They are the Chosen,
We are the Blessed.

It is Indeed to a Blessing for All Manly People
To have Winners at our Legendary club

Who, Terry Randall? Well he is probably in his 70’s so only natural he has lost a bit of pace. Could still outmuscle our plodders though I reckon.
In Sachin Tendulkar's autobiography, he recounts asking Sir Donald Bradman what his Test average would be if he were playing today. Bradman replied that it would be around 70, which Tendulkar found surprising given Bradman's legendary average of 99.94. Bradman then quipped, "Well, 70 isn't bad for a 90-year-old!"
 
On a similar theme, back in the pre-war days, there was an old SCG member who would sit at the bar and watch the cricket in the mirror behind the bar. He reckoned that Bradman was the best left-hander he had ever seen
