RYAN Cross completed his return to the 15-man game in emphatic style in 2008, taking out the Emirates Western Force Player of the Year award before breaking through for his Test debut.
The fifth-highest try scorer in Sydney Roosters history after a 9-year career with the NRL club, Cross left a lasting impression in his second campaign with the WA side, finishing the 2008 Super 14 season as the club’s top try scorer and carrying his momentum into a maiden International campaign with the Wallabies.
A powerful runner and strong defender, ‘Crossy’ has signalled his intentions to remain a key member of the Wallabies squad ahead of the next Rugby World Cup, committing to the Emirates Western Force and Australian Rugby until the end of 2011.
