I'd suggest ZERO. He had good recovery for a good man once the ball hit the deck but not a lot of pace (who needs it when you can just bump the other bloke into the second row anyway). I might be wrong but not too far off it.

Sorry, you wanted to hear from a Guru. :oops:

I have a recollection of him running the wing at Sydney, I guess the only wing he would ever had made it up to, and having a bounce because there was nobody home up forward. Probably around the time Eade would have been starting to implement the flood on AFL football.

He never left the 50 much, so I reckon it would be under 20 at the most. I might be a bit generous but maybe somthing like 12-13?? I think they only started counting running bounces in the last 5 years, when they ran out of stats to count.
