Losing two legends of League

RUGBY LEAGUE has lost a pair of legends the past two days.
KEITH HOLMAN (1927-2011) starred at halfback for the WESTERN SUBURBS MAGPIES, scoring 381 points in 203 games. He also played 32 times for AUSTRALIA (1950-58).
Pictured above, DICK THORNETT (1940-2011) was one of only five Australians to represent the country in three sports. He played WATER POLO at the 1960 Olympics in Rome before playing RUGBY UNION.
After two seasons of union, he joined his brother Ken playing league for the PARRAMATTA EELS.
He scored 173 points in 160 matches for the Eels, then played part of the 1972 season with Easts.
The sport will miss both of these legends.
