Yes I think that's how I remember it and of course he had a lot of Tiger players in that team! Even though the book was aimed at Tiger supporters, he was vilified by the media for his arrogance. Perhaps he didn't have a manager to stear him in a different direction?

Yeah the State game against WA was his 5th game, he'd only played 4 senior games for it, and he kicks a lazy 7 goals

The book "The Hard Way" by Konrad Marshall on the 2020 season now reads like a Mills and Boon title.
Apparently it narrowly beat out the title :
Premiership Tycoon Seduces the Boot Studders Daugher which is now the Mills and Boon title that will never be................... along with other failed titles:
She pooped in the Billionaries Bed
The Greek Prince was No Good in the Sack
Seduced by the Town Bum
The Sheik preferred the Aristocrats Camel
I found the open mike interview with the great man and he confirmed that. He said he was asked to put players in who he would like to have played with in his team.
Also said that the criticism didn’t bother him but who knows?
Did the greatest Skip of all time ever come of second best in a contest ? Hell no , most underrated Tough player of all time
Only when you pushed him out of the way to get to the front of the line at the KFC in Swan Street.
Must be a tough neighbourhood. Our local KFC has run out of chicken a couple of times. Caused a few expletives from the punters but never a push and shove.
Spot on Mr B. A few on here think a team of chimps would lose a footy game. How? The other side wouldn't get hold of the pill!
I told him KFC was no good for his kids so I was doing them a favour …. Back of the Que Brooke
Hows Mama in the middle! She means business. Staring down the lens.
And uncle Andy at the back on the right side.
He's all friendly now but when he goes he goes all apeshit.
I aint messing with that chimpfam.
Not to sure about young Cuz at rear in the middle though. Reckon he's way to worried about the possibility of incoming heavy contact. Soft n hearing footsteps, never gunna make it as a premiership player.
The one at the front reminds me of Shorty during Dimma's pep talk at halftime of the 2020 GF.
I have basically finished the book now Scoop.
I am a bit bemused by Cotchin’s comments on Deledio. He refers to unresolved tensions… Not sure what they are.
I actually didn’t like some of the comments. The comment about him posting that the wheels would fall off in 2017 in a RFC a group chat were strange to me. Firstly that Lids was in a group chat showed he still had relationships with Richmond players and I think the comments could have been flippant, remember he was playing for the giants who were flying at the time. I don’t know the facts but I don’t get why he wrote about it in the book.
I enjoyed the book but I wouldn’t say it is a literary classic !!
