He played the game hard but fair, a true sportsman! I am a proud Kiwi but grew up in Cairns Nth QLD. Watching big Mel Meninga play as a youngster was bitter sweet, to me he represented both hero and villain. Hero when he played for the Raiders and Queensland. The other when he lined up against the Kiwis. But definitely one of the greatest to play the greatest code. Respect to you Mel, thanks for the memories big fella
Watching great rugby players - of union or league - made me realise “soccer” was the emperor’s new clothes. Thank you for the great rugby memories, Mr Meninga
As an Aussie and Being a football guy so use to watching the players of that game. There’s something about that League guys you can’t help but resonate with.
Mal was and is the greatest never appreciated him whilst he was playing as he was a Queenslander n played for Canberra but he was and is THE GREATEST PLAYER in history both on and off the field
Awesome clip Mel. Wonderful. Family origins are so great to know / feel / enjoy / and appreciate. What a blessed ancestry and island to call home.
