What about Ron Willey and Bob Batty? The former played for Australia from Canterbury. The latter was a fine fullback in an era when Barnes, Thornett, Langlands and (Les) Johns amongst others, i.e. Parish and McKean, were all Australian reps. Batty was right up there.
Bob Batty presented me with my first under 7’s premiership pennant at the Albion park oak flats eagles in group 7
He and others turned up each year as we played in the manly strip

Ensured we gained many manly supporters from age 7

Manly legend Graham Eadie is in Tweed Hospital fighting bacterial meningitis and the after-effects of a stroke.

“Dad’s not doing too well but he has family around him. He’s a fighter and will keep on fighting,” said Eadie’s son, Brook.
“Hopefully Dad will be out of hospital soon.”
Good friend and former Australian teammate, Larry Corowa said: “Wombat has a long journey and process ahead of him.”

As a gong boy by birth, words like Albion parks and oak flats set me off. I may be in Hong Kong, and I’ve lived in Asia for as long as I lived in Oz, but these were places that mapped my childhood. So cool, thanks.
