  • John Eales AM
    John Eales AM Former Wallabies Captain, author and business leader John Eales is one of Australia’s all-time rugby greats. He took part in two successful World Cup campaigns; captained the Wallabies in memorable victories including the 1999 World Cup; led Australia through three Bledisloe Cup series wins and two successful seasons of Tri-Nations fixtures. He also led the Wallabies to the first-ever defeat of the British and Irish Lions. In his career, John played 20 tests against the All Blacks winning 11 of them. In that time, he was captain for 11 of those tests against the All Blacks, winning six, including six of his last seven tests against them. But John Eales is a man whose outstanding qualities extend much further than his exceptional skill on the football field. He is an inspirational leader and businessman through both his actions and his relentless determination. John’s sense of fair play and genial nature made him one of the most respected figures in the game, and an extraordinary ambassador for sport and Australia. An in-demand keynote speaker for corporate events, lunches and after-dinner functions, the messages John delivers are invaluable. He inspires and instructs by focusing on the importance of coaching, composure and culture within corporations and the necessity for faith in the abilities of team members, particularly in times of change, in order to remain composed in the face of aggressive competition. More about John Eales: In a career that spanned 10 years, John Eales played a total of 86 Tests for Australia, captaining them on 55 occasions and accumulating 173 test points, making him the highest-scoring forward in the history of rugby.

It should be noted that these standings only have an historical aim but no sport signification because the comparison between the achievements of swimmers of different generations is always unfair for several reasons: 1. The period of time. The Olympic Games were not organised in 1916, 1940 and 1944 2. The evolution of the programme.

  • Sign on Dates for Cannon Hill Stars 3Rd February 2008 10Am – 3Pm 9Th February 2008 9Am –
    In 1945 the Cannon Hill Stars were formed and operated until 1948. In 1945 the side went through the season undefeated and were the first to do so in Brisbane. The major highlight was Ron Stanton, the halfback, who received the “Courier Mail” Player of the Year Award. In 1952 the current Cannon Hill Stars was reformed and continues its operation until today. Undoubtedly the club has maintained a much larger player base in previous years when teams were fielded in most age groups. The club maintains its objective of giving local youth the opportunity to play Rugby League competitively. It is hoped that, in the near future, this club will again become the hub of Rugby League activities for the Cannon Hill, Morningside, Balmoral and Murrarie areas. Their most famous past player is Wally Lewis but several household names like Bob Lindner, Chris McKenna, and Graham Quinn were also past members of the club. The Cannon Hill Stars are going through a major rejuvenation phase with the support of the Wynnum Manly Leagues and the Wynnum Manly Seagulls R.L.F.C. • A major upgrade of the playing field • Renovations to the clubhouse • Changes to the structure of the club‘s board Sign on Dates for Cannon Hill Stars rd 3 February 2008 10am – 3pm th 9 February 2008 9am – 1pm Young Players will receive...
