Central Park, 12 Oct. 1986. Perhaps someone could add his name.

Looks like ex Balmain Tiger Paul Sironen to me. Steve "Blocker" Roach looking on and Peter Stirling in the background with the blazer on.

Thanks for that Reg!

THE Reg Gasnier?
Now this is a real stab in the dark but there is someone just behind Paul Sironnen. You can just about get a glimpse of his head. I'm going for Benny Elias

Great photos, a golden era for rugby league.Benny Elias re-invented the hooking role in rugby league, the Balmain pack of the late 1980's (Paul Sironen, Benny Elias, Steve Roach and Wayne Pearce) must be one of the most formidable of all time.

Yea thats Paul Sironen "the cement mixer" i think was his nickname. Big Barry mcDermott certainly put a mix on him!!!
