Still the greatest forward the game has seen.

His peak output had never been seen before in the game and is unmatched to this day - 5,348m in a season and a single‑game forward record 345m, he's the only forward of the modern age to win the Dally M. Major role in delivering North Queensland’s first premiership, and he single-handedly changed Rugby League forever when deciding to represent Tonga.

Multiple seasons at or near 200m per game: 2017 (205m/gm) and 2020 (207m/gm) show the peak sustained over years. And multiple Dally M Lock of the Year awards (2015, 2016, 2018). How about 178 run metres and 30 tackles in the 2015 grand final?

Even last year he was still pulling metres that would make other front rowers weep, and was the biggest influence on whether the Cowboys won or lost. All in all, it's a GOAT-level resume.

Now we’re in 2026 and he’s STILL pulling 200 plus metre games. Massive numbers for run metres and post contact. Most important factor in NQs current winning run.

There’s a few pretenders to the throne but none can ascend to the tower of the king.

Yeah nah

 

[Desert Qlder]

Yeah nah

In your guts, you want to suck his nuts.

 

[Nealo 12]

Obviously contract time

He's no Mick Vella but he goes ok

Far and away the greatest ever NRL prop to be charged with baffling wildlife offences

.....he's the only forward of the modern age to win the Dally M. .....

He said forward, not referee.
