Greg Oliphant
_Tommy’s
nemesis and fighting partner not only on the field but in the boxing
ring! Remember that battle? Wait until you hear the boys tell that story
together!
Ollie was one of the great half backs from the 70s, a Kangaroos representative, and played half back for QLD in the very first Origin of 1980. |
Chris 'Choppy' Close
_An
extremely passionate Queenslander and one who never takes a step back
when it comes to arguing with Tommy over which state is the better and
how good 1980 was for all those above the NSW boarder…Man of the match
in the historical 1980 Birth of Origin, he also took the honours again
in the second game. One of very few to win the award at Origin level
more than once.
