Background

Miranda was born in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia and played his junior rugby league for Birchgrove Scorpions. Miranda is the son of Ray Miranda who played for Balmain in the 1940s.

Playing career

Miranda made his first grade debut for Balmain in Round 1 1978 against Penrith at Leichhardt Oval kicking 5 goals in a 16-8 victory. Between 1979 and 1982, Miranda finished as the club's top point scorer. Balmain continued to struggle on the field during those years and finished last in 1981.

In 1983, Balmain finished 4th on the table and qualified for the finals. Balmain were defeated in the semi final by St George 17-14. Miranda departed the club at the end of 1983 and finished as Balmain's 5th highest point scorer with 541 points.[2][3]

gollark: That is not what I'm talking about and I'm not aware of that happening.
gollark: That's currently all I have to say about Android opensourceness. I might come up with more later.
gollark: Banking apps use this for """security""", mostly, as well as a bunch of other ones because they can.
gollark: Google has a thing called "SafetyNet" which allows apps to refuse to run on unlocked devices. You might think "well, surely you could just patch apps to not check, or make a fake SafetyNet always say yes". And this does work in some cases, but SafetyNet also uploads lots of data about your device to Google servers and has *them* run some proprietary ineffable checks on it and give a cryptographically signed attestation saying "yes, this is an Approved™ device" or "no, it is not", which the app's backend can check regardless of what your device does.
gollark: The situation is also slightly worse than *that*. Now, there is an open source Play Services reimplementation called microG. You can install this if you're running a custom system image, and it pretends to be (via signature spoofing, a feature which the LineageOS team refuse to add because of entirely false "security" concerns, but which is widely available in some custom ROMs anyway) Google Play Services. Cool and good™, yes? But no, not really. Because if your bootloader is unlocked, a bunch of apps won't work for *other* stupid reasons!
