IF YOU WERE STRANDED ON A ISLAND WITH ANOTHER PERSON WHO WOULD THAT PERSON BE:  Either Steven Franciscus, or my brother Shaun Wickham. Both are Mr. Reliables, and if worst comes to worst I’d probably die of laughter more than anything. Great company they are.

YOUR THOUGHTS ON QLD PNG RUGBY LEAGUE:  Qld PNG Kokomos are and outstanding corporation. Coming from humble beginnings and being very heavily family orientated. It has only nurtured the great success and progression of the organisation. And further more created a successful breeding ground for grass roots footy, and our up and coming talents in the junior ranks. Not only that but the professionalism of the coaching staff and the committee is second to none. Everything is always organised well and running smoothly come game day. It’s no wonder we have great success on the field and amongst the committee, and have really become a force to be reckoned with as an organisation.

ONE PERSON WHO INFLUENCED MY CAREER: If it had to be the one person whom really got the wheels turning on my footy career, it would have to be, the late Daryl Guymer. Sure my dad, and uncles all played back home, and my mum is footy mad. But he really said to me ‘come on mate, come down and sign on. Doesn’t matter how small you are, as long as you got the ticker to go the distance.’ So when I was 9 years old I signed up at norths Devils, and haven’t looked back since.

THOUGHTS ON QLD PNG Kokomos RL INC : the Png Qld Kokomos is fantastic and a privilege for young men to represent their country …. Even though it may be QLD Png (from experience) everyone who puts that jersey on plays with so much love and passion for our country. It’s a perfect way to showcase our talents ! Personally I love when it’s that time of year to throw on the colours .

WHICH PERSON HAS HAD THE MOST INFLUENCE ON YOUR CAREER : The most influential person in my career would have to be my best mate and his dad … They’ve always told me (especially the hard times) that no matter what happens out there go give it your all, believe in yourself and you’ll get there. Beat the bloke in the mirror who’s holding you back because it’s only yourself that’s telling you, you can’t !
