The celebrated bookend, a veteran of 10 State of Origins and 15 Test Matches, will come off the bench in the St Pat’s clash against the Blayney Bears on Saturday, July 23, as part of the club’s annual Blue and White Ball celebrations.
While Group 10 fans would no doubt love to see more than just one O’Meley appearance for the Saints, that’s not on the agenda.
“There’s no chance of that,” Saints coach Kurt Hancock said.
“We’ve seen teams do this sort of thing before with Matt King for Orange CYMS and Dave Peachey with the Cowra Magpies.
“He’s still coaching the Central Coast Centurions side, which is the feeder club for the Sydney Roosters.
“It’s going to be a great opportunity for guys to play against him and play alongside him.”
