Matty Johns

So we stand up with these, like, seven legends, and there's a bloke who goes one by one down the thing.

talking about him and mate i was next to bradley clyde and they go bradley clyde this bloke this bloke could possibly be it will end up one of the greatest players of all time i think you'll be an immortal one day and he comes to me and he he's actually not sure exactly who i am and he goes and the big fella here the big fella here mate what a future put your hands together yeah

When they were going down the line, I was going, oh, no.

Oh, no.

Crying.

One more Fletch tells this story.

And I think it was the Origin Camp in 2000.

And so Wayne Pierce was the coach.

And Junior gets to one night, the first night in camp, he goes, righto, what we're going to do, I've got a name for all of you guys, whatever, which symbolizes who you are.

And he goes, Fletch, your name in this camp is going to be the Maverick.

You just zoom in there and you zoom out and no one knows what you're about.

Mate, you're a mystery.

You're a maverick.

Hindy, to you, your old boots.

Mate, you look at them and you grab all those old boots and you put them on and you just feel comfortable.

I like that.

And he said, another player went, you're us.

You know why?

Because no matter what, you always leave a mark.

And they go through the whole thing.
