More about Steve Mortimer: Steve Mortimer OAM, aka Turvey (after Turvey Park in Wagga Wagga where he grew up), is an Australian former rugby league halfback who played a record 272 first grade games for the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs between 1976-88. He played 16 matches for NSW between 1977 and 1985, including nine under the State of Origin banner. Mortimer captained the Blues in 1984/85 in three matches (all victories) and was the first captain to lead NSW to State of Origin success in 1985.

Whitt & Patto Chase Grand Final Glory Allora based ardent rugby league followers Greg Patterson and Luke Whitten are firing up for the National Rugby League climax on Sunday when the Canterbury Bulldogs take on the Melbourne Storm at Sydney’s Telstra Stadium in what should be a bell ringer of a match to decide the 2012 NRL Premiership. The Bulldogs have finished the 2012 season as Minor Premiers, and have edged in as slight favourites in the final NRL encounter of the year. That may be so but knowledge chiseled from a local league career stretching over 23 years has Storm loyalist Luke Whitten happy to be the underdogs. The Melbourne based club have been supported by Luke since they entered the competition in 1995, and “they have been a club to dominate the competition since” according to the Storm Allora Ambassador. A long serving veteran of the front row in Warwick Cowboy’s and Wattles teams over the past decade, Luke sights the big three, fullback Billy Slater, Melbourne Storm stalwart Luke Whitton and Canterbury Bulldogs devotee Greg Patterson tangled recently as the curtain lifted on NRL Grand Final week in Allora, both convinced their respective teams can earn the glory halfback Cooper Cronk and for 2012.
