I've just got to be a little bit cautious with my technique and all that sort of stuff, going into tackles. But I'm not going to change the way that I go into it. I'm going to be aggressive.

I enjoy watching the NFL, but you've got to have a real passion to make that transition and have a real crack at it.

I'm extremely proud to have represented my country. It's truly an honour.

There are different reasons why I wanted to try AFL - some of them family reasons and others were more personal ones.

I get excited when the ball goes up in the air. I try to always get up there... I get a buzz out of it.

I probably realized when I was maybe 13 years of age that I could make a living out of playing professional sport and from that time on it was really a goal for me do that as soon as I can.

I think probably all of my determination and eagerness to want to play professional sport came from my family.

I'm very confident in my own ability but I'm not guaranteed to get a starting spot.

I've been watching a whole heap of video footage of different players on different teams and how different players get the football. But the best way I learn is getting out there and playing.

I get a huge excitement from seeing the other guys cross the line. It really is a team game rugby, so if we are getting points on the board I am still very happy.
