In three short years, became one of the most popular players in St George history. Had been a lock in Queensland and on the far north coast of NSW, but was excellent as a winger with Saints in 1945. Was a sensation when he moved to the back of the scrum in 1946, until he fractured his collarbone in a round 13 win over Wests and missed the rest of the season. It is no exaggeration to say his absence cost the club the premiership. One paper called him ‘the greatest lock in Australia and the most popular player playing football today’. However, injuries took a roll and he returned north at the end of the ’47 season.

Played a total of 37 games for St George
