The third player — after Ben Hornby and Matt Cooper — to play 200 games for St George Illawarra (as distinct from St George or a combination of St George and St George Illawarra). Hugely versatile player who started at hooker, lock and, early in his career, in the second row and occasionally at five-eighth. Was the starting hooker for the Dragons in the 2010 Grand Final. Rarely missed a game — was an ever present in 2004, 2005 and 2009 — except for 2007, when a severe knee injury limited him to three matches. Came off the bench for his one Test appearance, against New Zealand during the 2010 Four Nations. Started at hooker for his one State of Origin match a year later.

Played a total of 209 games games for St George Illawarra
