Garrick is in the midst of his first season full season with the team and is enjoying his opportunity to represent the Club.
He also notes that his on field education is improving courtesy of the ever watchful eye of Head Coach Mat Head.
“It’s always good to find the line but it’s a bit disappointing it wasn’t enough to get the win in the big local derby,” said Garrick.
“We gave it a good it a good red-hot crack at it and we know we can turn it around in time for next weekend against the Rabbitohs.
“I thought our forwards were really good throughout the majority of the game and really muscled-up which provided a good platform for us backs to work off of.
“Head is a really experienced coach who tells you about the little things that you wouldn’t pick-up yourself and I’m enjoying having the opportunity to work and learn under him this year.”
