[The Mad Hatter]

I've always wondered the same.

 

[AyiosYiorgos]

Bump - anyone know??

It is strange and stands out like dog b@lls.

It had to be a mistake of some kind and the only thing I can think of is the artwork was done and someone was doing the checklists and card order and somehow got Steve Mortimer confused with Steve Morris.

I don't think we will ever know.

[The Mad Hatter]

A perplexing error that goes in the book along with the Matthew Ridge 'no tackle' just before half time in the 1996 Grand Final decider and the Cronulla Hawks.

That "no tackle" killed us

 

[hobo]

Ouch did really need to open that wound again.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

I could bring up 1999, but that would be a dog act. ;-)

How do you say 'rort' without saying 'rort'?
