Quote: EA "Sure, there's a bit of bias, I did see plenty of the great Parra side of the early-mid 80's and I didn't see any Brisbane side play.
Anyone would have struggled to beat Parra or the Dogs from 81-86. Hell, Australia would have struggled to beat them. Maybe its the same for Wynnum.
I can't really comment on the Brissy comp back then, we didn't get it in Sydney. All I can say is based on what I saw of Lewis and Kenny over their careers, Kenny is a gnat's pube in front for mine but I have absolutely no dramas with anyone having The King in front.'"
I have seen all of the Sydney comp between 1978-1985 (inclusive).
I've got that Brisbane 1984 GF on disc, if you ever want to have a look...
Peter Jackson also played for Souths, in addition to Meninga, Belcher and Lindner. Still got done 8-42.
Re- Lewis circa 1984. He had the best year you could ever have - that was why it was compared to Lockyer's from a few years ago...
Wally Lewis 1984:-
Won Brisbane Grand Final with Wynnum (captain)
Won Panasonic Cup Final with Brisbane (beating Canterbury and Parramatta in early rounds) (captain)
Won Origin 2-1 with Queensland (captain)
Won Ashes with Australia 3-0 (captain)
Club, State and International.
The greatest five-eighth to play our game.
