Some people don’t need introductions but certainly are worthy of being splashed on our website – The man, The captain, The legend.

Name: Mitch Porters

When the captaincy role became vacant at times last year due to injuries to Matt Leider, Mitch seamlessly filled the hole. In 2019 he was an obvious choice to lead the 2019 campaign. Rock solid, hard working and a wise head on wide shoulders is a proven combination.
