Rhys started with the club in 1954. He was 6&rsquo;4&rdquo; and a school high-jump champion. He would execute reverse slam layups at warm ups to intimidate the opposition. He was asked to train in the State Victorian side &ndash; but declined as he was studying to be a dentist and felt he could not devote the time needed.

1955 &ndash; Rhys played in the Intervarsity games in Tasmania and received a Full Blue.
