Hmm. Putting doubts into an old, senile mind, now JJC! LOL I must admit I reckon I recall Danny using the drop kick on frequent occasions. But, I could be wrong. Can anyone (with a little clearer memory) help us out?

Mono there was a more recent exponent of the art. Danny Hughes used to use the drop kick out of full back with great aplomb. Think he was pretty much the last guy at the MFC to use it.

And he's been playing THUGBY up until now? Gazza should be ashamed of himself allowing his son to degrade himself in that way!

Apparently he mentioned at training this morning that he'd love to nail down the wing spot. Noticed on Saturday he seemed to do a few nice things down back as well as forward, so the wing seems like it would be a good spot for him. He's certainly a joy to watch in action. Some of his moves are majestic!

Where's Ron Casey (the Melb version!!) and Tony Charlton when you need 'em??

Gerard Whately, by a country mile. I believe this guy cut his teeth on horse racing, and it shows. His description of the action is precise and first class. He gets a heap of description into a few, well chosen words. Heard him recently on radio broadcasting the cricket. He actually described what was happening. These days, so many of the comentators are so full of themselves that they just prattle on with whatever's on their mind, and totally ignore the action on the field.
