Roo was an absolute superstar Southy at SF and the other mob.
To run at full tilt as he did on the wing, taking multiple bounces and then kick 60m on the fly takes some doing and he was a master at it.
Fingers crossed he has a full and speedy recovery.
 

You didn't have to be an Eagles fan, to remember the 1992' AFL Grandfinal.How historical that moment was for all Wa sports fans .And West Australia as a whole.
The body clashes and great skill shown on that day.And the best of all played out of his skin.In that amazing 3rd qtr that turned the match.It was never going to be easy stealing the Premiership cup from Victoria.
Hopefully Peter has a speedy recovery.Far to many of our sporting greats are leaving us in recent times.
