Good luck in your retirement Eddie.

Wide to West was priceless!

A nice article for a national newspaper that doesn't normally cover Rugby League.

But the fact that there's only one comment under the article illustrates the general lack of interest from readers and shows how far Rugby League has to go before being widely accepted.

To achieve such wide acceptance, RL needs a way to overcome its image of being a small northern game for northerners.

If anyone knows where overseas viewers might find the Eddie tribute show, let me know.

I found this interview Eddie did on YouTube really interesting - particularly when he talks about the early days. He also seems to confirm Bill Arthur will do the Grand Final this year.

That's a very interesting interview, I'd recommend it to everyone here.

Wonder if it'd be possible to get him on 'Backchat' later in the season, after everything's settled down.
