2020 was both a year to remember and a year we all want to forget.
Before it’s too far gone, let’s take some time to remember some of the rugby league players who left us for good in 2020.
1. Paul Fisher
A Souths-Sunnybank junior and a very accomplished and highly regarded player in the Brisbane competition, Paul Fisher was equally at home at either halfback, hooker or fullback. He was selected in the Queensland residents team in 1992 under coach Paul Vautin.
