Your Say

    Les holds the record for the highest strike rate (tries per game) in Australian first grade history. He also holds the record for the 3rd most number tries in a season, which is the South Sydney record and the record for a debut season. He suffered a concussion and a crushed vertebrae in the 1954 grand final, which was the cause for his early retirement.
