The Gamilaroi man, born in Goondiwindi on the Queensland-NSW border was interesting raised on a tobacco farm near Texas, US and in Tamworth, NSW. He has been dedicated to sports, particularly rugby, but also has a passion for science and technology. He is currently the founder and director of Image Matrix, a media production company.
Who's your team? Roosters - just like my mum. Favourite player was Hugh McGahan.
Has a game of rugby ever brought you to tears? Under 12s, because I wore a PJ top under my jersey Tamworth.
What can Over the Black Dot audiences expect from you? A lot of straight talk - some serious and some fun. Great analysis on men’s and women’s footy. Interviews with Indigenous super stars and much more ... All that in a fast and furious 30 minutes.

Living and breathing sport, Tanisha is in the know. Her first hosting gig was in 2013 on NITV's 'Barefoot Sunday' program, which was subsequently nominated for a Logie Award and last year, she joined Hannah Hollis to commentate on the Women's All Stars match.
Who's your team? Cronulla Sharks
Has a game of rugby ever brought you to tears? I teared up this year when the Indigenous Allstars womens team beat the World Allstars womens team. This is the first time ever the World Allstars womens team have been beaten by the Indigenous team, such a significant moment in womens rugby league and a special moment for our Indigenous community.
What can Over the Black Dot audiences expect from you? Throughout Over the Black Dot I will be out and about, conducting interviews with players, coaches and officials. Finding out who they are, where they are from and what makes them tick, whilst also getting an inside scoop on how their teams are tracking and what their teams' plans are throughout the season.
George Rose

Who's your team? I have soft spots for teams like Sea Eagles and Dragons, but generally I support players over teams - mainly the Indigenous players.
Has a game of rugby ever brought you to tears? Winning my first Koori Knockout in Armidale. I was sobbing and could barely speak. I'm pretty sure NITV caught it all on TV, so I'll be taking advantage of my time at NITV to raid the archives and delete that shame footage.
What can Over the Black Dot audiences expect from you? I'll be speaking my mind talking about the things I like in Rugby League plus having some good chats to current Players while cruising the streets.
Owen Craigie

Owen showed league promise at a very young age. He is the only player to make the Australian Schoolboys Team three consecutive years in a row, and more impressively, he was still in Year 10, when he made his premiership debut with the Knights, taking on the mighty Brisbane Broncos with the likes of Wendell Sailor and Steve Renouf.
Who's your team? Newcastle Knights and South Sydney
Has a game of rugby ever brought you to tears? When South Sydney won in 2014
What can Over the Black Dot audiences expect from you? Straight shooter and to the point. I like to think I tell it as it is.
NITV's brand new Rugby League show, Over the Black Dot, kicks off tonight at 9.30pm on NITV Ch. 34
