Can anyone speak for Domic as a player?
I know him better for his off-field work, namely his art and how it's been used on head-gear and jerseys. I never got a chance to watch him play, all I remember is a story Wayne shared in one of his books. He went to this junior carnival to see this prospect everybody was talking up (Domic) and ended up signing Wendell Sailor.
I'm not sure if I'm confusing it with the Tallis' story, but from memory Dell approached Wayne and started to talk himself up which stuck with Wayne. I remember the Tallis story where a young Gorden Tallis said they had the wrong brother on the books (Wally Tallis) but I'm pretty sure Dell was brash as well.
Anyways Domic as a player, I've always imagined him as a skillful player in the mould of a Darren Smith who could cover backrow and centre if need be. Close to the mark or?
