Sporting Category:
  • Rugby League
He was the first New Zealander to play 300 first-grade NRL matches and when he retired his fifty-five tests for New Zealand were the most by any player for any country.

He memorably led the Kiwis in their 24-0 win against Australia in the 2005 Tri-Nations, the first time for twenty years the Kiwis had stopped the Kangaroos from scoring.

In all, he played 225 games for Canberra and 87 for the Warriors.
