I used to go down to Leichardt in the late 80s and watch Blocker, Sirro, Jack, Elias, Junior and co play - Laurie Nichols leading them out, while he threw uppercuts....what great times to watch rugby league they were and what an awesome side that was. Blocker was a hell of a front rower - tough and very skilled as a ball-player.

Steve Roach "Blocker" was such a threat to the Kiwi's as he was hard, had great hands and skills. Dowling, Tunks and Roach best Aussie props of the 80's Roach was no 1 of those.

Depends what part of the 80s you talking about mid to late I'm thinking because Young Gerard Randall Brown were the best in the early 80s and even though Roach and co were feared Manly bought Kevin Ward in for 87 he pissed all over the Sydney forwards

A skilful prop forward to watch,doesn't back down to anyone in the opposition. I loved to see him play and a hardman enforcer on the field 👌💯

As a broncos and Qld fan I hated him, because he was so hard. Wish him and siro had won a premiership.

Blocker and Les Davidson as props at Warrington. Coulda had Liberace at hooker and it still woulda been the toughest front row of all time.
