    Whatever happened to Matthew Wood? I've just watched a replay of the Canberra v Penrith Grand Final when he came on in the second half and scored a try. He played most games in 1991 but not much after that. Anyone know?

    Wood lives in Brisbane now. He left Canberra to play for for Western Suburbs, under Warren Ryan, but returned to Canberra after only a few months. He coached in Queensland for a while but is now happily running restaurants.
