On Monday, Hinchy will play his 150th Storm game.

He has been with us since 2009.

He won our player of the year award in 2010.
He won grand finals with us in 2009 and 2012.
Won World Club Challenges with us in 2010 and 2013.
Won a Minor Premiership with us in 2011.
Has missed only 6 games with us.
Was also bet on ground for NSW Country one year (2010 or 2011 I think).

Congratulations Hinchy.

I think the biggest thing you can say about him is that he is the only player to win our player of the year award whilst largely starting off the bench. That is hard to do.

Only the 9th? Definitely in good company there. .... hinchy is great - definitely agree that he's best coming off the bench, and that's not a bad thing - solid contributions from an interchange can be the difference between the team going up a gear, or stagnating. ... not to mention his utility value, can play in a number of positions and do them well. That said, If he was starting this week, I'd have him as my choice for first try scorer. ... he has a knack for backing up at the right time! (Seeing as he's not, get on MK5! I sense something is brewing for him)

Congrats on 150 Hinchy!

Congratulations Hinchy ... the contribution you have made to the team is enormous. You give your all in a game and your team mates and coach and supporters can depend on you. I think if you had stayed at Canberra your career would have been average but under Craig Bellamy you have realized your full potential. Thank you for being one of us. :hello1: :hello1:
