“The triple Tigers premiership captain and longest-serving skipper in the Club’s history deserves all the accolades he gets for his inspirational leadership. Knows his role within the side and his game so well now. Leads from the front with his contested-ball numbers. Senses big moments in matches and always seems to rise to the occasion to lift the team. Hard as a cat’s head.”
