Lewis to Miles, Miles in the clear, TRY time.
A version of the above was a very frequently used line in the 80's, as the REAL inventor of the flick pass cemented his legend in one of rugby league's most storied backlines.
Gene Miles almost didn't make the journey from Townsville to Brisbane when the BRL came calling. The fact he did was a win for the rest of us. Strap yourself in as our heroes go deep with 'Geno' on his career journey, from the halcyon years of the BRL, to the birth of the Broncos, Kangaroo Tours, and Wally's go-to guy in the legendary Maroons backlines of the concept's golden ago. Part 2 of a 3 part special state of Origin series- DIG IT.
