Biography
Cronulla second-row forward, originally from Toowoomba, reached his peak during the 1989 season with appearances in Queensland’s State of Origin side and selection for Australia on the NZ tour. Stains played in 3 minor matches on tour but following a period with Halifax in 1989-90, his latter career was punctuated by injury. Stains captained the club in the absence of Andrew Ettingshausen during the early 1990s before seeing out his Sydney career with the Sydney Tigers. Stains ventured to England in 1997 and played for the London Broncos before being sacked as the club’s coach in June 1999.
