Josh King, the Storm forward, is determined to win an NRL premiership medal, but for now, he takes pride in an iron bar that sits on his mantlepiece.
King, a former mining apprentice, showcased his blue-collar work ethic at a grueling pre-season camp.
King, who will be playing his 51st NRL game for the Storm in the preliminary final against Penrith, moved to Melbourne last year with the intention of making an immediate impact.
His performance at the club's I Don't Quit camp exceeded even his own expectations, earning him the prestigious Iron Bar award.
Since then, King has become a reliable member of Craig Bellamy's forward pack.
Bellamy, who values hardworking forwards like Dallas Johnson, was impressed by King's attitude towards hard work.
By Round 8 last season, King had already played more minutes than in any previous season at the Knights.
