7.       What is the best compliment you have ever received?

Being told that I dominate on the footy field

8.       What is your favourite thing about Rugby League?

When playing I love the fact that you are going into battle with your brothers! But when I am watching I love the big hits and awesome tries!

9.       If you weren’t playing Rugby League, what sport would you play?

Rugby Union

10.   Who introduced you to playing for the Hornets?

Joe Taipari (son plays for the Hornets). It is still the best decision I have made!

Wing, Centre and Second Row

Prop

15.   Who is the “dark-horse” for the Hornets this season?

16.   Who do you think will win the Premiers Player of the Year award in 2013?

Jordan “Machine” Kane. He is a stand out with his work rate, but we cannot forget the ability he has developed this season to not step… but rather run around fullbacks!

Will be second in the regular season if no one can beat Linwood, but the Hornets will still win the Grand Final.
