"I learned so much from playing against guys like Cameron Smith and Billy Slater in training, it really helped me step up my game," Chan said in a recent interview with Melbourne Storm's official website.
"I feel like I've come a long way since my days in the French competition, and I'm excited to show what I can do on the NRL arena."
With his parents in the stands cheering him on, Chan is expected to bring his trademark physicality and work ethic to the Storm lineup as they face off against the Bulldogs this weekend.
As he prepares to take the field in the purple jersey for the second time in his career, Chan is ready to make a name for himself in the NRL arena and continue the proud legacy his father helped build at Melbourne Storm.
So as the young forward looks to flip the script on what it means to be a rising NRL star, one thing is for sure - Joe Chan is ready to make his mark on the rugby league world, one tackle at a time.
