Now at the age of 20, Stocks still wants to be the best, but in a very different way.
Born in Kimbe, on the Papua New Guinean island of New Britain, Stocks has spent the past 14 years shaping his rugby league journey in Mackay, after moving to Australia at the age of six.
Throughout this time he has given up promising opportunities in soccer to focus on league – citing the off-field “comradery” as the trump card. He joined the Mackay Cutters Academy at a young age and represented Queensland in the under 16s clash with New South Wales in 2018.
