Tony Johnson

One guy in that team, I think, is just, we've talked about Casey before, Ethan DeGroote has been outstanding this year.

He's led from the front.

He's a proven international quality, world-class loosehead prop.

And he couldn't have done more to help his team.

And I think he's a guy that's really, in a team that's had a bit of a battle on its hand, deserves a lot of credit for the way he's played, the example that he's set.

Yeah, I suppose, too, just underlining the misfortune side of it, Caleb Tangitao had been lights out and, to me, had claimed that all-black number 14 jersey.

Improvements to his defensive game, but just that electric ability that he has on the wing.

And then you lose him, and it kind of just summed it up, really.

The other guy who I'd...

If you wanted just a bloke, a work ethic guy, TK Harden is another one.

I mean, you look at the tackle count of that guy and had to play a lot at lock, which he's best at number six.

And he might have been an outside chance to go on an all-black tour, but playing at lock, which is not his strongest position, just through...

The circumstances.

But, you know, a nod to him too for just the phenomenal work rate that he's shown throughout the season.
