Slade Griffin
D-O-B: Jan-17-1991
Born and breed coaster
Studied at: Cobden primary and Greymouth high school
I choose Griffin because although he has a fast moving career he still makes time for his roots. Slade was the youngest kiwi to be accepted in the Nrl for Melbourne storms in 2013.
Slade Griffin now plays for the new castle knights although they are one of the worst teams in the league. Griffin is a hooker but due to the his injuries from last year is sometimes unable to perform. He is an inspiration because he might be from the West coast and might of been young to start off but he preserved and trained at the professional level required for his status. To put him in the hero cycle his bad point or the trials were having a shoulder injury in 2015 .Slade might
have his downfall but he is an inspiration. Slade Griffin has not had a great career but is still doing his best.
