St George Illawarra centre Euan Aitken was confronted with his fair share of trials and tribulations in season 2017.
Hampered earlier on in the year by hamstring complaints, Aitken finished the season on the surgery table after suffering a subluxation of his shoulder, not once, but twice!
Undergoing a shoulder reconstruction in mid-August, Aitken was forced to withdraw from the Scotland RLWC squad in name of bouncing back bigger and better in 2018.
