The prodigal son returns home to Redfern after eight years with the Roosters bringing a wealth of experience with him including four grand final appearances, 10 State of Origins for NSW and 16 Tests for Australia. Made a name for himself prior to the Rabbitohs being excluded from the competition in 1999 and will be looking to reignite the form he showed in the halves at South Sydney back then. A wonderfully unpredictable attacking player and very strong in defence.

What do you remember about your debut game:

Personally I consider my first game to be the Charity Shield in 1998. My first official game was in round one but there was a big build up to the Charity Shield and a big crowd and I was so pumped up it felt like a first grade game. They took it seriously and so did we.
