So I was really like checking everything, reading what everyone was saying and to see the outpouring emotion from the rugby league community, not just the rugby league community, everyone get behind and rally behind him.

And then to see him then go on and play the best football of his career, I reckon, that period.

Origin Series, yeah.

And he was probably one of your best players, if not the best player that year.

So to see that all flow on, yeah, it's so satisfying.

Some shitty moments.

I remember one when I was younger, actually, the first time I got sprayed.

Steve Crawley.

He was, um, he was at nine.

We weren't, Herald wasn't owned by nine at the time.

And it was in the days of the NRL season was moving across into the cricket period and round one clashed with that.

Remember the tri-series they used to play?

Yeah.

Clashed with the final.

I think it might've been Australia Sri Lanka.

And I remember I wrote the story about Channel 9 had a big decision to make whether to go with Broncos, Eels on the main channel or Australia Sri Lanka final.

And we did that story, which, you know, it's a fair story.
