In the world of Rugby League, it's all about running hard, tackling hard, and mastering a simple mantra.
Alec MacDonald, known affectionately as 'Chin', embodies this ethos every time he steps onto the field for the Melbourne Storm.
Although he may not be a household name just yet, MacDonald's dedication to the game and his selfless approach to teamwork have endeared him to Storm fans.
In his 35 games for the team, he has displayed a work rate reminiscent of some of the Club's greatest unsung heroes, such as Dale Finucane, Tim Glasby, and Dallas Johnson.
Having joined the Storm in 2022 after a successful trial period, MacDonald has quickly made a name for himself with his tenacious defending and relentless efforts on the field.
His journey from the grassroots of Wynnum Manly to the bright lights of the NRL is a testament to his perseverance and never-say-die attitude.
As he continues to grow and evolve in his third season with the Storm, MacDonald serves as a reminder of the importance of hard work, determination, and staying true to oneself in the world of Rugby League.
So, next time you watch him play, remember the mantra: run hard, tackle hard.
