    Louie was my cousin. He coached in Cairns after leaving Parra and broke his forearm on the head of Mark Broadhurst playing against the touring Kiwis. The arm was operated on but was not a complete success. After this he returned to live in Windang, NSW. Great defender and used to be a butcher, with arms like an anvil. Very proud of his achievements, came from a great family.

    Graham was captain coach of Brothers team in Cairns in 1978. I played on the wing and we were leading the comp prior to “Louie” breaking his arm late in the season in the rep game. Brothers went on the win the premiership in 1979.
