Was badly missed when he suffered a season-ending knee injury against Fremantle in round 13. Thrives on the contest and his second and third efforts are superb. Strong in the air, skilful, agile and reads the play well. Has shown an ability to go forward with effect and is set to be used more in that role this season as he returns from injury. Has re-signed with the Blues until the end of 2012.
