From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bob McCarthy (born in Sydney, Australia) was a rugby league player for the South Sydney Rabbitohs, Canterbury Bulldogs, New South Wales and for the Australian national side.
Bob is one of the greatest second rowers to ever play Rugby League, he is most known for an intercept try he scored for South Sydney in the 1967 Grand Final.
He played 211 first grade games for Souths (1963-1975, 1978) scoring 100 tries, an amazing feat for a forward. He played in three grand final victories (1967, 1970 and 1971) and in two losing grand finals (1965 and 1969).
In 2004 he was named by Souths in their South Sydney Dream Team,[1], consisting of 17 players and a coach representing the club from 1908 through to 2004.
These days Bob is a selector for NSW State of Origin and Australian teams.
