Playing career

Tilse made his first grade debut for North Sydney in Round 15 1980 against Canterbury at Belmore Oval.

In 1982, Tilse joined newly admitted Canberra and played in the club's first ever game, a 37–7 loss against South Sydney at Redfern Oval.

Canberra would only go on to win 4 games in 1982 and finished last on the table claiming the wooden spoon. As of 2019, this is the only time that Canberra has finished last.

Tilse remarkably went his whole first grade career without playing in a winning match being on the losing side in all 15 of his first grade games.[2][3][4][5]

gollark: Hold on while I check the config, though.
gollark: You should probably not be hardcoding sizes.
gollark: Not just "it's like WINDOWS, but for ComputerCraft, and actually not really like Windows as much as just a start menu, desktop and one GUI program".
gollark: They're typically significantly more interesting and creative.
gollark: Copy-pasting this from two months ago:Wild theory on new people constantly wanting to make an OS: they think something like "Oh wow, CC is so unlike Windows! And I have never seen any desktop OS but Windows! I must make it more like Windows so it is more familiar. Clearly nobody else has done this, or it would already be the default, because this is obviously better." Not explicitly/exactly that obviously, but think this might be close to what's going on.
