One of the most gifted athletes this country has ever produced joins us for a Player Profile that celebrates an extraordinary career, and a ripping character!
The résumé is ridiculous. Three-time Premiership winner. Clive Churchill Medallist. State of Origin icon. Indigenous All Stars captain. Australian Kangaroo. South Sydney champion. Melbourne Storm superstar.
But this one is much more than the highlights reel.
GI takes us back to the beginning, from driving an old Gemini around the bush and earning his first $500 playing footy at just 14 years of age, to becoming one of the biggest names in Australian sport.
Plus, his favourite ever player and favourite player to watch!
