eighth. Halfback.
Dapto junior.
Born 9 May 1982 in Wagga Wagga NSW.
Height: 175cm.
Debuted for Saints Saturday, 29 March 2003 (v Raiders
at Canberra Stadium).
Following an injury to Brett Firman (broken leg) in
early 2004, Head took over as halfback. He made such
an impact that Firman was granted a release in mid-2004.
Head played in just four matches in 2003 before shining
in 2004 to become the club’s leading first grade
point scorer with 119 points (scoring five tries, 49
goals and one field goal in 23 of a possible 25 NRL
matches).
Winner of 2004 Intergral Energy Dragons Medal (club’s
first grade “player of the year” award).
Head was again set for standout season in 2005 before
suffering a season-ending knee injury in round 14.
Injury concerns continued to hamper Head's progress
in 2006 with the playmaker appearing in just 14 games
and kicking 15 goals from 26 attempts.
During 2006, Head re-signed with the Dragons until 2008.
But events similar to his predecessor intervened, and
Head's contract was set to end prematurely.
In 2007, Head played six games in another season hampered
by injury. Following the mid-season signing of halfback
Jamie Soward, Head was eventually released to play with
Hull in the UK before being signed by Wests Tigers in
late 2007.
Head rejoined the Dragons in 2009.

First Grade debut for Saints July 8, 2000 (v Panthers
at Penrith)
In 2003, Hornby was awarded the club's Integral Energy
Dragons Medal (best and fairest) and is considered one
of the most underrated players in the NRL.
Following a exceptional start to the season at fullback,
Hornby was selected for NSW in the 2004 State of Origin
series.
In 2005, Hornby's utility value was realised when he moved
from fullback to halfback, playing the second half of
the season there following a season-ending injury to regular
half Mathew Head. In the same year, Hornby filled in as
captain on seven occasions during Trent Barrett's absence.
Also in 2005, Hornby won the club's Geoff Selby Memorial
NRL Coaches Award.
In 2006, Hornby played all 27 matches for the Dragons,
the only player in the squad to do so. Playing mainly
in the full back and half back positions, Hornby bagged
five tries, two goals (from two attempts) and two field
goals for a season total of 26 points.
In the same year he was named in the NSW side for State
of Origin III.
Hornby capped off a tremendous 2006 season when he made
his Test debut for Australia in that year's Tri-Nations
series, Hornby being selected at half back against Great
Britain in fourth Tri-Nations encounter.
In 2007, Hornby was named as co-captain (along with Jason
Ryles and Mark Gasnier).
In 2008, Hornby captained the side three times (Rounds
6, 12 and 21) and played in 24 first grade games. In May
he was selected for NSW Country in that year's drawn City
v Country Origin clash.
Also in 2008, Hornby was recalled into State of Origin
for the NSW side, on the interchange bench for game 1.
In 2009, Hornby was named as club captain.
Hornby is currently contracted with the Dragons until
the end of 2010.
