Agree totally.

Even now when he goes 1 on 1 you dont expect anything other than a try.

Good servant to the mighty Doggies. Enjoyed watching him.

One of the best goalkickers ever, I was amazed to see him slot one from the touchline blindfolded on the Footy Show not so long back.

The Dogs have really been spoilt for goalkickers, as they had Daryl Halligan before him, who was one of the best as well.

Indeed, if I recall correctly, El Masri only got the job after Halligan's retirement. How many would he have got had he had the job from the start of his career?
A much better winger than Halligan though.
This all brings back the halcyon days when Sky used to show Aussie highlights & prior to that when we used to rent Micron(?) videos to watch games from down under.

Fantastic player. Legend is bandied about a lot these days but El Magic is certainly in the legend brackett.
