A very sad day for all Rugby League followers as Keith Barnes passed away at the age of 89.
He only played for one team and never played in Reserves. He scored 11 tries, kicked 742 goals and 1 field goal for the Balmain Tigers between 1955-1968. A true gentleman. R.I.P. Keith.

RIP James Earl Jones,
Lieutenant US Rangers, US Army.
Jones joined the US Army during the Korean War and expected to be deployed as soon as he received his commission as a second lieutenant. As he waited for his orders, he worked on the stage crew and acted at the Ramsdell Theatre in Manistee, Michigan.
Jones was commissioned in mid-1953, after the Korean War's end, and reported to Fort Benning (now Fort Moore) to attend the Infantry Officers Basic Course. He attended Ranger School and received his Ranger Tab. Jones was assigned to Headquarter and Headquarters Company, 38th Regimental Combat Team.
He was initially to report to Fort Leonard Wood, but his unit was instead sent to establish a cold-weather training command at the former Camp Hale near Leadville, Colorado. His battalion became a training unit in the rugged terrain of the Rocky Mountains. Jones was promoted to first lieutenant prior to his discharge.
He then became one of the most well-respected and recognizable actors in the world.
