Hanley, Farrell, O'Loughlin. That number 13 shirt has had some big names in it over the years.

Love that the league is finally giving some faces to the players. Even the Sky Sports ad makes it seem like a big deal. Give faces for people to remember that the men of steel intro and the awful BBC intro doesn't

[@igloodesigners]

It's a great film. Love watching him play.

[@danielnorrie9978]

Great player and a good bloke, left bradford for peanuts really, but his career has carried on an upwards trajectory. Keep Smashing it Batty

[@rhyssanders9122]

Sat at GIO in canberra watching him fuck up the nz warriors, his kick receiving position was at the edge near my seat and i just had him pegged to do crazy shit, and he did lol
