Brad Beetson, son of the late and great Arthur Beetson, has a nice way of explaining how his father might welcome the season-opening NRL showdown between the Dolphins and Sydney Roosters.
"I am sure dad will be looking down, probably playing cards with Tommy (Raudonikis), and he will be pretty chuffed to see this come to fruition," he said ahead of Sunday's round-one clash.
The rugby league trinity of the Dolphins, Roosters and Arthur Beetson will all be celebrated at Suncorp Stadium.
