Your Say

Owen O’Donnell was a highly underrated rugby league centre-threequarter . A stylish attacking player and a stout defender, Owen O’Donnell was destined for higher honours but unfortunately the rep selectors of the time chose converted lock forwards like Paul Sait (a fine forward) to play in the centres. His sole game for NSW is scant reward and belies his ability as a centre of the highest caliber.
