He's called Pete Emmett.
Really funny guy but a great compare for these kind of events.

Yeah a great evening ive got to admit he still looks like he could play at the top level and the depth of preparation and fine detail he explained things was fantastic i should imagine he could be a fantastic coach but think hes more likely to carry on commentating instead

It was a great night.....
JT is real nice genuine guy who obviously loves his family and our great game.
I did bid on the Wally Lewis shirt but stopped at £225.....

I was gripped when he was talking about his kick preparation and when he talked about working with Lockyer when he was a kid.
He said he doesn't want to go in to coaching but he certainly knows his stuff.

Spoke well about JD too.

Loved his pasties before Greggs hi-jacked them. Definitely an all time great.

Watched an article on him before one of the state of origins I think a while back ,had to come through adversity in his early years to be the consummate professional of his era, and a track record that will not only be hard to match but nigh on impossible to beat .
