The Warriors are singing the praises of Mitchell Barnett after his standout performance in his State of Origin debut.
The inspirational forward had a night to remember, stepping up when his team needed him most.
Just like in the game of footy, you always have to be ready for anything that comes your way.
Barnett, at the seasoned age of 30, proved that he was up for the challenge on the biggest stage of all.
Suncorp Stadium was the battleground for a clash that will go down in history, a showdown filled with heart-stopping moments and bone-crunching hits.
Barnett was expecting to make an impact off the bench, but fate had other plans.
In a twist of fate, he was thrown into the deep end when Crichton went down early in the game.
It was a true test of character, but Barnett rose to the occasion and delivered a performance that will be talked about for years to come.
The Kiwi forward showed true grit and determination, earning the respect of fans and teammates alike.
