Mark Murray

The remainder were midweek games against clubs, and those games were often as tough and as violent as the test matches.

Here's the squad: Chris Anderson, Kerry Boustead, Les Boyd, Greg Brentnall, Ray Brown, Greg Kineskiu, Steve Ella, Eric Grothe, Rowan Hancock, Brett Kenny, Max Crilich, who was the tour captain, Wally Lewis, Paul McCabe, Don McKinnon, Mal Meninga, Gene Miles, Rod Morris, Steve Mortimer, John Muggleton, Mark Murray, Wayne Pearce, Ray Price, John Ribot, Rod Reddy, Steve Rogers, Ian Schubert, Peter Sterling, and Craig Young Pretty fair lineup, isn't it? It has been called the greatest collection of footballers ever.

Big wrap, great squad.

The Eels had the most representatives with six players, and all but one of the 28 played New South Wales Rugby League or Brisbane Rugby League, and the one that didn't was Rowan Hancock, who was selected from the mighty Warwick Wattles.

Went to 17s.

Mark Murray and Anthony Griffin came in as our coach and assistant coach.

So, again...

some pretty special coaches to have as a junior footy player.
