On closer inspection he played 5 games in 2010 and 2 in 2011. Only one was centre all others on the wing. Didn’t score any points. Only 2 wins in those 7 games.Bay53 wrote: ↑August 28, 2019, 2:48 pmJimmy Stuart was at the Forever Green reunion the other week. Recognised the face but couldn’t put a name to it.
He was a local junior, came up through the ranks and played a handful of games. From memory they were on the wing but he was more of a Centre. Would have only had one season where he played first grade.
I am sure he went to Qld Cup after that.
But this just proves my point. Like every kid playing junior rugby league he dreamed of playing NRL and probably for his local club.
He did that.
Did he make a fortune out of the game or become an Immortal? Not even close but for a moment he played in the best rugby league competition in the world where people paid money to come and watch him play.

I think you might be thinking of James Evans there, Matty.

Re: Canberra Raiders Team of the Decade
According to Wikipedia - best factual site out there - Evan blew his knee on a goal post, while Stuart lost a leg to a Great White Shark, but continued playing League.The Rickman wrote: ↑August 28, 2019, 4:07 pm I think you might be thinking of James Evans there, Matty.

Re: Canberra Raiders Team of the Decade
Yeah, I remember the sickening moment when Evans bent his leg around the goal-post in the act of scoring a try quite vividly.
He was quite a promising young centre too.

Carney's was worse. You could hear the screams in the grandstand.
