League of His Own Ch. 11

... all the staff that has ensured I can play rugby league to the best of my ability, week in and week out, there are a few other people that I must thank.

Not sure if anyone remembers here, but I do remember my very first post-match interview and the last person I thanked that evening was my mother. She's not here tonight though I know she's watching. She's been my biggest supporter since the first time I stepped onto a rugby league field as a kid. My teammates see her at the barriers every single home game, and she's usually there at most of the away games around Sydney as well.

Then there are my two sisters who I have adored since I knew who they were to me. They're as big a cheerleader for me as my mother is. I don't think people sometimes realise just how important family is during those formative years, and their continued support has meant the world. I'm a professional, and I want to win, but when it comes to winning, it isn't just for me. It's for my teammates and everyone at the club, but it's also for my family and almost as thanks for all the support they have given me over the years.

While this award does mean the world to me as a professional rugby league player, this year was made the best of my life earlier this year when Kim accepted my proposal and I'm pleased to say that she's no longer my girlfriend, but she is my fiancée."

That led to even more cheers from the audience.

"Finally, I am simply honoured to have won this prestigious award for the first time. Ever since I stepped foot onto the field for West Sydney Rangers as a professional rugby league player, I've dedicated myself to being the best I can be in my position while doing my level best to bring success to the club. We've come close a couple of times before, but this year, I can only stand here, smile and tell my teammates that this year will be ours. We're going for the title, boys. Let's bring it home!"

I wasn't surprised that when the ceremony wrapped up a few minutes later I was dragged in front of the assembled media to answer some questions. Thankfully, it didn't last too long and I was able to make my escape with Kim. She snuggled into me on the drive home, relaxing on the ...
