Whats the word on this guy ramraider78???

He scored the winning try in the dying minutes, was a handful on attack and solid on defense the whole game. He's a Hawks junior loyal to the club been through the 20's program in 2x NRL clubs - you can take the boy out of the hood but you can't take the hood out of the boy; can't let out to much bro we still got the Lions at the end of this round Rub The Hawk....

Yeah bro, he had a brief stint with the cowboys as well; he's really matured now, calmed down heaps, he had a short wick on/off the field, but always loyal to the hawks.
