More than happy to have a photo taken with my youngest today at the Show. Asked her name & if she followed North - “Yeah, of course” she told him.

So good, would have been bloody awful to see him play his 300th elsewhere

Have many ruckmen played 300?

Peter Carey played 448 games and was probably better than all the above, regardless where or who he played against!

Cheers - no one in the last decade or so, brutal role to play these days

Paddy Ryder was on track to play 300 at the end of 2017, but injury got him in the end

That is interesting especially given they have changed the centre bounce rule to make it more ruckmen friendly which you would think is one of the most strenuous tasks in the game.
