Steve Folks hears of new young recruit who lives in Bosnia. Folks catches a plane to war torn Bosnia and tracks the young boy down. He risks life and limb dodging bombs, bullets and grenades but finally find him and convince him to come to Australia.
The boy does a full pre-season, plays all the practice matches and gets picked on the bench in the seniors for the first game of the year. Ten minutes into the first quarter, Big Willie down with a severe knee injury. Folk turns to the boy and says "This is it son, go to prop and show us what you can do."
The boy proceeds to play the greatest debut game in NRL history. He scores three tries, makes five try saving tackles, and makes 40 hit ups.
Folks tells the team what the boy from Bosnia has been through and that he is a model lesson for all. Folks then pulls the boy aside and says "Go into my office son, ring your Mother and tell her what you did today". He proceeds to do so.
"Mum", he says down the phone, "Guess what I did today? "I don't care what you did today his Mother replies. "I tell you what happened here today", she goes on. "Your Dad was murdered, our house torched, our car blown up, your sister raped and your brother abducted." "Gee," says the boy. "I feel a bit responsible for what happened". The Mother replies "So you should be. If it wasn't for you we wouldn't have shifted to Canterbury."
