    You couldn't wipe the smile off Ethan Strange's face on Saturday, and no it wasn't because Canberra had just sealed the minor premiership.

    Strange was on the receiving end of the biggest bone crunching tackle of the year.

    But as Jeral Skelton was left reeling after laying on the rib rattler, Strange bounced away from the tackle with a huge smile on his face.

    The moment would have brought a smile to the face of his father, Roosters NRLW and women's NSW coach John Strange.
