Your Say

Gary Belcher, was pure poetry to watch running in open play, the most solid and trustworthy of fullbacks, he is often overlooked in fullback debates. He rates as number one fullback ever in my books.... Sorry billy and darren.

Was one of Queenslands best in game 1 1993. Should have been retained. Retired while still in great form.

Still rate him as one of the best fullbacks of all time. Retired while In top form. The south Queensland crushers should have signed him and brought him out of retirement. Five eighth stiles fullback, great runner and talented goalkicker. Legend!
