The NRL got a taste of what Canberra Raiders hooker Tom Starling can do on Saturday night, but there's more where that came from, warns coach Ricky Stuart.
Starling was a standout in Canberra's 19-18 loss to the Cowboys and will need to play a key role again in round two against the surprising firepower of the Dolphins this weekend.
Playing his tough brand of rugby league in Townsville, Starling averaged 11 metres per run, had one line-break, a team-high five tackle breaks, 29 tackles, one try assist to Emre Guler, as well as a four-pointer himself in 43 minutes on the field.
