question
Q: QLD Colts v NSW Colts 1972-73

BackRow: David Falkenmire, David Ellis, Scott Ledger, Peter Donaldson, Ray Sippel, Neville James, Ian Gallagher

Front: Harold Crowton (scorer), Trevor Hohns, Graham Whyte, David Ogilvie (Captain), Kelvin Symons, Jeff Bell, Roger Harris (Manager)

This humble game marked the arrival of Jeff Thomson but few could have predicted the heights this unorthodox speedster would reach. All I can recall is that he was bloody quick and cleaned me up. No helmets of course. The late Peter Donaldson bowled brilliantly for Qld.
