Cronulla's longest serving player who was unlucky enough to have a champion like Tommy Bishop in the club holding down the halfback position for so many seasons.

Even before that, Terry Hughes had a strangle-hold on the scrum job. Just the same, Dennehy had his share of first grade games even when this pair were with the club.

Dennehy finally came into his own when Bishop left Cronulla for Brisbane at the end of the 1973 season.

He is one of the game's most reliable halves and definitely ranks among the toughest. He likes to take the ball up himself but is a heady positional player who knows how to set his backs alight. Dennehy's defence is impeccable.
