This week on The Victory Wrap, Rick "RJ" Jullienne and "Dale "The Coach" Eggleton sit down with one of the Central Coast’s great dual-sport figures, Greg Smith.
Born in Gosford and raised at Narara, Greg built an outstanding career across both cricket and rugby league. He played first-grade cricket for Narara from the age of 16, went on to score almost 8,000 runs, including 12 centuries, and later captained the club to the 1984–85 First Grade premiership.Greg also captained the Central Coast representative cricket side, coached representative teams, served on the NSW Country selection panel, and was recognised with life membership of both Narara and Central Coast Cricket.
His rugby league story is just as memorable. After being told there was no position for him at Gosford, Greg hitchhiked out to Erina, played there that very day, and stayed with the club for the rest of his league career. He later became a first grader and was part of Erina’s historic 1977 First Grade premiership, scoring a try in the Grand Final win over Wyong.
A terrific story of talent, loyalty, leadership and a lifetime of contribution to Central Coast sport.
