Message: [QUOTE="Huge, post: 2633225, member: 1992"] I may regret this but anyhoo... 1910 has forgotten more than I will ever know about what happened in the past. If in any way I got it wrong , I apologise. My respect for Wally is hard to quantify but it is immense, he made me a believer. When he ran on the field, I believed. I got to witness a golden age where we downtrodden Qlders got respect, Wally , Gene ,WB and many other lesser lights all contributed to earn us the honour we were traditionally denied. They built what we have today ,we were backward hicks in the eyes of the southern clique. We owe a debt to them including the QRL stalwarts who finally stood up and the Brisbane Broncos who gave us a focal point. Never let it be said that the Broncos hurt rugby league in this state. In fact it was the opposite, they elevated us despite the damage to our state league, damage that had to happen. I witnessed the highs and lows of the transition and if I could have I would have run through a brick wall for Qld and Wally Lewis. So, that said, Wally got a rough deal through an incredibly tough 1990 and his career ended without a fairytale ending but unless my drunken head got it wrong, he finished his last game as a winner. If I remember it correctly,the Gold Coast were leading by a couple, a desperation bomb was hoisted and Wally caught it on the full, hanging onto it until the hooter blew...a winner to the very end.
