At 24 years old, Michael ‘Dusty’ Rhodes decided he wanted a change of scenery for his rugby career, so he left Queensland and signed for Featherstone Rovers. He stepped into the full-back role vacated by another Australian Wayne Simonds. Rhodes had been playing for Brisbane Norths in the Queensland League, a feeder club to the then recently formed Melbourne Storm. After an unsure start at Featherstone, Rhodes found his feet in English conditions and became a safe, if unspectacular, last line of defence under Peter Roe’s coaching. In all, Rhodes played 55 games over two seasons, and scored a total of 19 tries.
