What an absolute Penrith legend Royce is very humble about his career he was one of the toughest players ive seen.great leader and inspired the group of young players at penrith to the first premiership.I watched it in 91 at the eastlakes hotel in sydney..ended up on one of the little round pub tables yelling & celebrating with a few mates,one of the best days of my life.. What a competitor Royce was played himself into the ground very game,got a knock in origin,got up & played the ball the wrong way..kept going..this was a great chat with James Graham loved it well done. Might just go watch 91 grand final again..

I had many beers with him last year too! He still remembers everything from the old days. I'm always fascinated listening to his stories.

The 13 man import was the equivalent of the salary cap restrictions back then Jimmy lad, so looking at the teams on paper the imports had a asterisk beside their names...few dodgy dealers back then don't worry about that...3 times as strong in the juniors at all clubs too mate , in all districts, quite sad to see. Great having a beer with Roycey at rosehill the day octagonal won the guineas.

Yeah can’t forget the awful 91 grand final for the raiders (at least we won the two years before)

Raiders cheated and broke the salary cap in 1990. Penrith was robbed. Also Royce pushed over Lazarus to score his second try in the 1991 GF

I really enjoyed this interview Jamer. I too young to remember Royce but he's a great storey teller 😂 Its nice that this interview will forever capture a point in time that Royce could recall all of these amusing anecdotes. He's a great story teller. And it is a awesome testament of his character that he is raising money for the condition that will eventually strip him of all this as it has done so many other great old story tellers. It's a very cruel disease 😔

James, It's said dementia is likened to an earthquake shaking a tall bookcase. The books on the top shelf go first, then the second top shelf ... the bottom shelf, and then the second bottom shelf. The books that remain because of the structure of the bookcase and where they're placed are those books in the THIRD shelf. Patients better recall the good memories of their 30s. They need to sit and talk with the people who lived those moments and years, when the PATIENT was in his 30s,.with them. And that one person they trusted most in the world - they still trust the most, and need the most. The nicest tribute I ever heard was: "she lived her life in sunshine and in shadow. We acknowledge the shadow over her life and now honour the sunshine that was her life".

I remember the look on dad’s face back then he was so proud of being from Penrith and it made his whole year in 91.

Great choice of guest again and excellent as always Jammer. Even when he was coaching The S I used to refer to Royce as Rolge Simmond after his name was printed that way in one of the 86 tour programmes (probably the Saints one). The Hull stuff was great. Helps to make sense about what happened to them. Funny to hear they've always been as well run as it is today :D I was at City v Chelsea too, wasn't a great game but they did an interview on the pitch with some of the Penrith guys, although can't remember who it was, maybe Yeo and someone else. My old man passed away after a period of dementia. It's a tough ride for all involved. Wishing all the best for Rolge and his family.

It seems that Dementia is like cancer. Maybe stress related, bad diet, and of course head clashes, who knows. Wish we knew how to help people not to get it. My mum diet with it and when she finally passed, it was a blessing in many ways. I hope I don't get it and need my family to support me.
