Individually, their achievements already have them certain to be future Immortals of the game, however, collectively, their resume` reads as 657 club games, 59 Origins, 89 Tests, 10 All-Star appearances, 6 Dally M Medals, 5 Wally Lewis Medals, four NRL Grand Final wins and 2 World Cups, records that are likely never to be matched by a Queensland hooker and five-eight in the same generation.
Both players’ dedication to Rugby League is matched only by their dedication to giving back to the community so both men are thrilled to be able to support these deserving charities
with a portion of ticket sales being donated to all three charities.
