“Another extremely consistent season from the experienced gun defender. Is the key organiser of the back half, and his versatility to play on both tall and small opponents, is a huge asset for the team. His ability to know when to release off his opponent and press up and help, prevented many opposition goals this season. Has excellent composure and is the glue that holds the backline together.”
