WALLY LEWIS The Broncos simply could not have done without The King, the Queensland and Australian captain, during the club s foray into the NRL. The first Queenslander to be immortalised, Lewis made an instant impact when he scored two tries in Brisbane s rollicking first round win over premiers Manly - one of which was a steam rolling burst which beat seven defenders from 18m out. Gene Miles runs the ball for Wynnum Manly.
GENE MILES The most underrated great in rugby league who NSW legends like Steve Roach and Geoff Toovey rank as among their favourite footballers to play with. Miles was so good he was at one stage the best centre in the world, and when he moved to the second rower for the Broncos first season he became an automatic selection in that position for Queensland and Australia.

Subscriber only FOR an Ipswich sportsman who needed both hips replaced, Mark Sharrad can honestly say he has scaled incredible heights. Hiking 7.5km up Mt Everest with his partner Leanne for 19 days proved that. It was awesome - the reward at the end of it to see Everest base camp, Sharrad said. Given Sharrad had his hips replaced four years ago, his epic 2019 climb highlighted the tenacity of the former Ipswich Jets footballer and Wests A-Grade hockey goalkeeper. He savoured the challenge of having to adjust to the demands of high altitude conditions. Brothers cricketer Mark Sharrad celebrates his achievement climbing Mt Everest.

PORT MORESBY, 17 FEBRUARY 2021 (RNZ PACIFIC) – The Papua New Guinea Hunters rugby league team is staying positive despite three failed attempts to relocate to Australia.
34 players and management staff have been been in a quarantine bubble in central Port Moresby for the past 11 days as they await approval to travel to Queensland to compete in the Intrust Super Cup.
Their latest attempt was delayed when Queensland Health Authorities said the squad must complete 14 days in quarantine after one person tested positive for Covid-19.
Hunters coach Matt Church said they were doing everything they could could to minimise the risks.
