SEEING double? Has Joe Picker got a shearing twin?
No. The two-Joes photo is one of two Raiders (the other’s Bronson Harrison) featured in a new exhibition called “Onside with the NRL” featuring 20 photographs of League players by Mark Tedeschi, at the State Library of NSW, Macquarie Street, Sydney until August 5.
Tedeschi’s day job is senior crown prosecutor for NSW. He met Joe at a friend’s farm near Crookwell.
“Joe has been shearing sheep since he was about 15, and is still a country boy. This image shows how he successfully lives in both the world of pastoral pursuits and the world of first-grade NRL,” says Tedeschi.
