The Saints star has been learning to deal with a tag early in 2026, and still managed to produce some awe-inspiring brilliance.
He is thriving with the increased midfield opportunity and is punishing with his run and carry regardless of where he is playing.
Most potently, he is arguably the best kick in the league.
What??? No Alex Pearce? Or All Australian Jordan Clark. Unbelievable!!!!
