Steve rated highest in the fairfax player rating for any player on Friday night plus got in team of the week. Not bad for a player in his first game back from a serious shoulder injury/surgury.
He adds spark & mongrel to our team, remember that next time he gives away a penalty then gets bagging from the usual suspects. :-*
