This is a 1979 Australian Rugby League medical exam.
Anyone know the handsome bear's name?

  2. I might add that I know it is part and parcel of being a pro athlete a/k/a valuable animal of the herd, that the media scrutinizes all injuries and treatments, but I would still not be comfortable with reporters hanging over the trainer's shoulder whilst he is trying to diagnose and treat me-Dee Exx

    1. This photo was made duting a "gang" medical exam, and I suspect no required treatment was given until later. I have pictures of several other players and the same doctor.

  3. I did a bit of sleuthing and came up with two possible names. Peter McLean and Greg Cornelsen. Both played with the league in 1979.
