Tonie Carroll
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tonie Carroll (born February 17, 1976 in Christchurch, New Zealand) is a rugby league player for the Brisbane Broncos in the National Rugby League competition. He started his Australian club career with Brisbane's Easts Tigers team before moving on to the Broncos.
Nicknamed 'The Jaw', Carroll is a controversial player who has represented both New Zealand as well as Australia due to his having played State of Origin. Best known for his devastating defensive hits, he also had a short stint in Great Britain with Wigan and the Leeds Rhinos between 2001 and 2002 before returning to the Broncos. When selected for the Kangaroos in 2004’s Tri-Nations competition, Carroll became the first player in 90 years (since Bill Kelly in 1914) to play for both New Zealand and Australia.
