He's arguably the best utility player in the game, and that's where he's been selected for New South Wales and selected for Australia.

He had a full medical assessment done after that game and a very, very specific rehabilitation program was drawn up for him.

If the club and the manager say let's work on this, we think we can generate some more cash and improve your profile, which indirectly extends the profile of the game then that's what I like about it.

It's not taking money out of your club pool, it's not taking money out of your club grant and it keeps the salary cap in check.

He's a highly valued player and person at our club.

He's under contract for the next couple of years and he's highly regarded as a player and a person.
