I tried to find out about who was 1974/5 Qld title winner....nothing.

Why would the mags and internet do a story,yet as said in alll the time and reading never seen anything until recently.

Yep I'd heard the name two, but only as the skipper on some of the search trips.

74 qld titles were won by Rabs. Although they did have under 19 then..

Yeah I thought Lopez first to PUP, I think he did like sluggos. And the short hair to.

But no lighting bolt on the board so I thought not.
