Made his first-grade debut as a 19-year-old in 1975. Two years later, under Harry Bath’s coaching, was one of the best second-rowers in the competition. In the Grand Final replay, after Rod Reddy was injured, Stone moved to lock and scored a famous try, running 25 metres from the scrumbase to give St George a match-winning lead. Came on as a replacement in the major semi-final (when he scored the winning try) and the Grand Final in 1979. Played in the inaugural State of Origin match, was a major figure in the club’s late run to the finals in 1983, and then captained the team to the top-three in 1984. Played 281 games in all grades for the club
