Andrew VossHOST
What happened 40 years ago? Bring the house down.
Andrew VossHOST
Mick Cronin, Ray Price.
Andrew VossHOST
We're celebrating 40 years.
Andrew VossHOST
since the Parramatta Premiership win of 86.
Peter WynnGUEST
Gee, I don't know if Sterlo or Brett Kenny or Eric Graff or Steve Eller are all listening in, but they were some great players.
Peter WynnGUEST
Bob O'Reilly, Mick Cronin, as I mentioned, Arthur Beetson, Paul Mayers was a local.
Peter WynnGUEST
He was a great player as well.
Peter WynnGUEST
But I had to pick one out, probably the guru, Eric Graff.
NozHOST
I'd actually like to go back and look at his kicking percentage.
NozHOST
It was probably about 25 points higher than the likes of Mick Cronin.
NozHOST
Now, I'm gonna list my greatest Englishmen, Johnny, and at this point, mate, I know, I know you are going to hang your head in shame.
JCHOST
All right.
Andrew MooreHOST
And it was the last golden era for Parramatta.
Andrew MooreHOST
Mick Cronin's long-term centre partner for the Eels, but also he was a more than capable full-back.
Andrew MooreHOST
5'8", goal kicker when required.
Andrew MooreHOST
Now, in those days, I was a mad Bulldogs fan, but I used to marvel at Stephen Eller.
Steve EllaGUEST
And actually, I suppose, the glue was actually... linked us back to our forwards and he was instrumental in our success as well and along with a lot of the other good players I played
Andrew MooreHOST
with.
Andrew MooreHOST
Tell us about that rivalry that the Eels had with Canterbury in the mid-80s and I used to salivate when it was you and Mick Cronin against Chris Mortimer and Andrew Farad.
Andrew MooreHOST
No holds barred.
Paul CrawleyPANELIST
the loss of loyalty in rugby league, and there was a time when you didn't need a contract.
Paul CrawleyPANELIST
Mick Cronin played a career without a contract, and you get-
Warren LivingstoneHOST
Shook your hand
Paul CrawleyPANELIST
... you've got to a stage now where it's deadset mercenaries.
CraigHOST
I remember when we spoke to Brett Kenny about... playing first grade, and he said when he first came into first grade at Parramatta, he thought, well, this is a lot easier than I thought.
CraigHOST
And then he said it was actually years down the track when Mick Cronin retired and Ray Price retired that he found out that having certain players beside you on the field can make
JohnHOST
first grade rugby league a lot
CraigHOST
easier than what other people find it.
Graeme HughesHOST
Not so great.
Graeme HughesHOST
How about Mick from Nelson Bay?
MickAUDIENCE
How are you, gentlemen?
Graeme HughesHOST
We're good.

NicoAUDIENCE
These boys go out there and play every weekend for each other and for the town.
NicoAUDIENCE
Honestly, it's amazing.
NicoAUDIENCE
I got to have a beer with my old man and stand with him and Peter Kennedy, if you know that name, Damien and Jason's old man, and I think Mick Cronin said he was one of the best centres that never went on to the elite.
BradAUDIENCE
Yeah.
