I think he was killed in the off season after this. In a car accident I think. Poor kid.

On another note, amazing how many white men are on the field.

You are correct BP we signed him from the Steelers he was a rising star and a good goal kicker and a great defender sad loss.

James Matthews was unfortunately killed in a car accident in the off season.He was a really good up and coming centre[ i think we got him from Illawarra] and was cut down in his prime.

The club still presents an annual award to the clubman of the year in his honour.

I think they even bring James' parents to the award night each year to present that award.

It was tragic - terrific kid by all accounts who just loved his footy.

Yeah and Brian smith lost his second attempt at a premiership

And Jarryd Hayne's dad was playing in that game too.

Made me think how some players I regarded as ordinary in that day werent too bad at all....e.g. Protheroe. Bruce Sinclair was pretty underrated could really hit in defence too.

The days when referees kept quiet....bliss.

Brendan Hall was pretty woeful. I loved him. What an idiot kid.

When I was at the club a few years ago he was walking around with a pair of pliers.

Those were the days, sitting in the stands with my grandpa bagging poor Brendan after he misses yet another conversion from right in front of the posts.

I remember he missed one against Brisbane which cost us!
