With Retro Round this weekend, hear from the only North Sydney player to earn a perfect ‘10’ rating from Rugby League Week magazine!
Almost 23 years to the day since North Sydney played their last premiership match, Greg Florimo remembers it like it was yesterday, and holds out hope that his beloved Bears may still have more tomorrows.
Manly hardman Terry Randall had the honour of earning the first ever ’10’ after tackling himself to a standstill against St George in the opening round of the 1978 season. Another seven players including Peter Sterling, Brad Clyde and Brad Fittler would earn a ‘10’ in the ensuing 19 years before Florimo had his day in the sun at the Bears’ spiritual home on June 29, 1997.
“I made plenty of metres and had a pretty good game but I reckon I had a knock on in there somewhere so I’m not sure how I got a 10,” Florimo says modestly.
