Your Say

He came into the supermarket where I work. Few of us realised who he was. Asked him for an autograph for a work mate and he signed a bit of paper for him. Seems like a really nice guy. And a bit cute.

Highly regarded player, bought by Parra to replace the legendary Ray Price.....only ever tried hard in the lead up to Origin selection.

The best lock in qld state of origin history. Retired while in amazing form. Big, fast and strong.

My memory is Lindner being picked ahead of Wayne Pierce for the Kangaroos and having a massive game. I couldn’t hardly believe how good he was. Well played.
