Biography

Former Canberra lower grade hooker cemented a place in St George's first grade team and played in the grand final loss to Brisbane in 1992. Collins found his position under threat from rookie Nathan Brown the following year but after playing in the club's second consecutive grand final defeat, spent most of the 1994 season in reserve grade before signing with the South Queensland Crushers. Collins finished his career with a season at Leeds in 1997.
