Club History Round 5 1989

[The Blueseum]

Last time we lost the first five games was 1989.

The good news is we won a premiership six years later.

That team in 1989 was:

B: 43 Mick Kennedy 45 Warren McKenzie 13 Mil Hanna
HB: 6 Jon Dorotich 22 Ian Aitken 31 Tom Alvin
C: 8 Wayne Blackwell 21 Craig Bradley 26 David Rhys-Jones
HF: 25 Ian Herman 4 Stephen Kernahan (c) 3 Richard Dennis
F: 41 Luke O'Sullivan 1 Stephen Silvagni 19 Andrew Phillips
Ruck: 29 Michael Gallagher 38 Shane Robertson 17 Mark Naley
Interchange: 20 Fraser Brown 9 Ken Hunter


From that team which many would have said was a low point in our history several players stood up to be a part of our next premiership.

Mil Hanna
Craig Bradley
Stephen Kernahan
Stephen Silvagni
Fraser Brown

Do we have at least five young players now who will get us to 17? Who might they be?.

It's definitely bad luck to play a bloke named Andrew Phillips in round 5

Where are we getting Diesel from?

So many similarities

Our current best HBF line is probably also #6, #22, #31

We have an Andrew Philips

We have a Silvagni in the forward line

Simmo is basically Kenny Hunter's clone

Not enough love for Fraser Brown.....

We already have him, but we call him Crippa.

Reckon we are slightly more advanced at this stage, many more kids making a contribution

We lost 8 out of 10 and then things just went to shit.
