rugby league lost a great player and a true gentleman of the game over night. Brian ‘Chicka’ Moore. One of Newtown Jets Immortals and an ambassador for our great game
Chicka Moore RIP
| Brian ‘Chicka’ Moore passes away Monday, 27 October 2014 12:44 |
| The Newtown Jets have lost one of the most iconic figures of their 108-year history following the passing of former player, coach and Team of the Century member, Brian ‘Chicka’ Moore.Mr Moore passed away from a long illness yesterday aged 70. Newtown Jets director and media manager Glen Dwyer says Moore will forever be remembered by the Henson Park faithful for his significant contribution to the foundation club.”For the baby-boomer generation, Chicka Moore was the living definition of Newtown,” Dwyer tells RLW.”He never had the privilege of being in a premiership winning first-grade side or playing in a Test match, yet no one who saw him in his prime would deny that he was one of the best centres of the period.”He was a tall, long striding, majestic running centre. In the days where men were starting to grow their hair longer Chicka with his bald head was a landmark at Henson Park.”His combination with fellow centre Bob Keyes was marvellous and I’ve heard lots of judges say that if Reg Gasnier and Graeme Langlands weren’t around, Brian Moore and Bob Keyes would have been the Australian Test centres without doubt.”Moore played for Newtown during a difficult period, with the Bluebags only making the finals three times during his 11-year career. However, there were a couple of highlights to savour.Arguably the finest moment of his career came in 1973 when he almost single-handedly helped Newtown to a remarkable comeback win over St George in the final of the 1973 Wills Pre-Season Cup.
“Newtown were down 15-2 at halftime and the heat was horrendous,” says respected rugby league historian Terry Williams. “They won 17-15 and that was largely on the back of Chicka. He basically took St George on on his own. In attack he cut the Dragons to pieces out wide and when they had the ball he became a road block. “In that form he could match any centre in the world.” Moore represented NSW on three occasions between 1963 and 1970 and was Australia’s top tryscorer during the 1967-68 Kangaroo tour, despite not playing in any Tests. Unfortunately, he had the misfortune of coming through in the same era as RLW Immortals Bob Fulton, Reg Gasnier and Graeme Langlands and probably didn’t represent Australia as much as he should have. A Newtown man through and through, Moore also held the distinction of being the Jets’ last-ever first grade coach taking the reins for the 1983 season following Warren Ryan’s resignation. A respected police officer, in 2008, Moore was inducted into the NSW police Team of the Century while in 2009 he was awarded the NSW Police Medal for diligent and ethical service during his 29-year career in uniform. “For all his footballing achievements he probably affected more people’s lives in his role as a physical instruction trainer at the police academy,” Williams says. “There’s a whole generation of young coppers for one or two decades who were put through their paces by Chicka. “He used to wipe the floor with all these young blokes who were 20 years younger than him.” “He was just a really memorable character,” Dwyer continues. “He was a marvellous personality and a great ambassador for the Newtown club.” BRIAN ‘CHICKA’ MOORE (1944-2004) |
Newtown Jets legend Brian ‘Chicka’ Moore dies after long battle
- October 27, 2014 AAP
ONE of the Newtown Jets’ rugby league players of the century, Brian `Chicka’ Moore has died following a long battle with illness.
Moore was a great of the now defunct NRL club, playing with the blue bags from 1962 until 1973 and also coaching the Jets in 1983.
Six years after he was named at centre in Newtown’s Team of the Century, Kangaroos international Moore passed away aged 70 over the weekend.
“Chicka was a player with an incredible try-scoring record,” said the NRL’s head of football, Todd Greenberg.
“In his 173 matches for Newtown, he scored 90 tries; that highlights what a player he was. In full flight, he was simply magnificent to watch.
“He was also a Kangaroo tourist and represented NSW, and then coached Newtown during its final year in the NSWRL.
“In 2008, he deservedly found a home at centre in Newtown’s Team of the Century. He will be missed by the game which he served so magnificently.”

Around an hour ago I received a telephone call from the wife of a very close friend and ex Officer that I shared duties with at Gunning [Cullerin Range Area] where we attended in excess of 200 fatal accidents together, over a period of five years, John Duff, Reg No 11262 has been suffering from cancer in both lungs and a tumor on his spine, Beverley informs me that John was admitted to the Rylstone Hospital this afternoon and not expected to last the night out, very sad that it is moments like this that make us realize just how close we have become and take for granted,

Greg McMahon Ian, I fully agree brother. And that day In 1986 has haunted me ever since.

Peter Cameron Ian, no need to apologise for the length of the post. You have more reasons than most on here to bang on about this. What I havn’t told you before is that we met after Paul Quinn’s murder in ’86. I was stationed at Casino with him before that tragic incident. I often reflected on how that must have affected you but you put your boots back on and batted on for years in the job.
-
-
Paul Davies Ian I remember that horrible incident you were involved in something we all prayed we would never be confronted with. At the time of your nightmare shift I was at Blacktown tracking down the Anita Cobby killers. I was glad to be doing what I was doing and not being in your shoes . Very brave and I dip my hat to you, and long live the memory of your partner.

Peter Cameron Well said Paul.

Peter Cameron Spot on Ian, it made all the difference with a good solid boss backing you up. Also the old fashioned debriefs with mates out the back of the Station worked wonders. Then some bright prick stopped that.

Bill Fortier Agreed, we spent more time with each other than our own families. Just like x servicemen who have seen it all they do not talk to others. They talk to those who have been there done that who know how it feels and what to do to fix problems. They could make decisions on the run and we all followed because we believed in them.

Bill Fortier We all suffer in our own rooms. I feel your frustration and pain brother.

Peter Cameron Trouble is Bill, a lot of the bosses don’t have a lot of experience on the ground. A lot has come out if books.

Ian Borland You would not believe it but the solution to all this was put to the Dept. In 1988 by a committee I was involved in with Don Fudensein Jnr. Naturally all looked good until one of the dunces that was a Deputy a Commissioner made the most despicable com…See More

Bill Fortier Marvellous things books, they teach all the theory on any topic you wish to name. But when it comes to practical application of the theories and models put forward sometimes the real world never reflects what one has spent learning from pages.

Ian Borland You told the truth, but that was his cross to bear, it could not be construed as endogenous depression. I hope that the root cause was extracted at the time of the assessment Greg. As you can see it’s an easy slight of hand to play.

Greg McMahon Telling the truth has been a cross I’ve born often in my life.

Ian Borland But it didn’t stunt your growth, you can still stand tall.

Greg McMahon Yup.

Glen Thompson I told the truth to the Dr, psychologist, psychiatrist, Dept nominated psychiatrist and they couldn’t get rid of me quick enough.

Glen Thompson I think a big part of the problem has been people not being completely truthful either by embellishment or non disclosure.
