Boys cheer for their heroes

RABBITOHS fan Heath Callaghan will be cheering for his team in Sunday’s game, even as many of his fellow junior league players root for the Cowboys.

Growing up in a Melbourne Storm family, the Manunda boy isn’t afraid to stand out.

“My favourite player’s Alex Johnston – he’s a winger and I’m a winger,” he said.

With the Rabbitohs in a strong position going into the game, Heath is hoping to have plenty to brag about.

Meanwhile, his Cowboy-supporting young nephew Izrael Jai-Gara will be cheering on Johnathan Thurston at Barlow Park.
