Fantastic player in both codes and 52 is no age to be leaving the planet.

Sad news, RIP
Remember when Wigan signed him, they got him fit slimmed him down and turned him into a ball playing destructive centre, who would of thought it.

A quality player who I dreaded us playing against. No nastiness, just power and skill. Taken far too early.

Nice piece on the NZ National news here, with no less then AB Legendary Coach Sir Graham Henry saying the Inga did the right thing going to Wigan, where he became a "cult hero" and Henry also saying he was the best schoolboy player he'd ever seen, whilst the other quotes included one that he was "the Jonah before Jonah" !

Another nice touch for him was last year his old school named their sports grounds after him. His great mate Michael Jones was almost in tears being interviewed.....
