There seem to be heaps of stories about Big Mal from blokes in the Old
Dart. Here are two of my favourite memories of the guy when I was a
Raiders fan (i.e. before Super League ruined our game).
Early 90s I think and Canberra played Manly in Adelaide or Perth or
somewhere else ridiculous. Plenty of talk that Mal was past it (what is it
with people in this country writing off champions too soon?). Destroyed
them. At one point, was first receiver from a penalty restart. Left a
trail of hapless silvertails in his wake. Is there a greater sight in
league? Doubt it.
89 Grand Final. That weasel Elias gets the ball from a kick and runs
straight into Mal's shoulder. Next movement is arse over tit on his way
to the deck. Bloody beautiful. Couldn't happen to a nicer bloke.
