Title: ... p60 - Big Jim Mills fronts the NSWRL Judiciary two weeks straight, his first two in Aus - Andy Gilde

From Andy Gilder - off RLfans Forum - Leeds Rhino Southstander.com

Aye - he told that at the Leeds ex-Players Association dinner. Very similar to the Jim Mills one about his time in Australia.

Big Jim made his debut in the old NSWRL, and promptly got sent off. When he turned up at the disciplinary meeting, he was full of contrition about what he'd done as they read out his "previous" from the game over here. Looking for a way out, he pleaded jetlag and tiredness from the heat compared to what he was used to in Widnes, and they sent him on his way with just a fine.

Next game, Jim smacks someone and gets sent off again. Back he goes to the judiciary, same panel members as the previous week. They read out his "previous" again, adding on the one from the last game, and ask if he has anything to say for himself in defence. To which Jim replies,

"Bloody hot out there again isn't it".
