We played a very aggressive brand of cricket and were very successful. We definitely won a lot of games that we should not have purely through the “mental disintegration” side. It certainly did not encourage sportsmanlike behaviour. I think they made me captain one year just because I could deal with the judiciary better than other guys in the team…
The team is definitely biased toward the Sandgate players because we won so often and those who played well against us consistently over those years. There are heaps of players who got me out for fun who are not in this team - Brett Boardman, Rendle O’Connell, Sticks Argent, Darin Turner, Brett Henschell… it is a long list - and Gators who were instrumental to our success like Paul Pink, Brett Mortimer, Murray Kent, Trent Ryan and Jon Isoardi.
