End of Breyton – highest rugby try-scorer
Independent nline – Nov 22, 2007
Earlier this year the departure of De Wet Barry and Selborne Boome left Paulse as the sole remaining player from the glorious era of the Men in Black the 1999 vintage that became the only Stormers side ever to host a home semifinal at Newlands in a period where Western Province also won three Currie Cups and played in four finals. Paulse is believed to be weighing up options of playing his final season of rugby in France next year but his closing epitaph to South African rugby which kicked off with a hat-trick of tries on debut for WP in 1996 as well as against Italy in his first Test match in 1999 has ended with barely anyone raising an eyebrow.

The Crocs point guard continued his rich vein of form after dominating last year's grand finalists with a game high 31 points. Second placed Melbourne arrived in Townsville looking to rebound from a last start loss to Sydney while the Crocs at home for the second time in a week were riding high on the back of a three game winning streak. Crocs captain John Rillie put his stamp on the game early hitting a three pointer while Williams was a handful for the opposition defence with a flurry of drives to the basket. Tigers trio Chris Anstey David Barlow and Daryl Corletto ensured the Crocs didn't have it all their own way in the early proceedings and kept the scoreboard ticking over to see their team down 31-22 at quarter time.
