Tom Flegler wears his heart on his sleeve and his bruises on his body, a hard-nosed prop who relishes the physical confrontation that defines front-row play. A former Bronco who crossed town to join the Dolphins, Flegler’s aggressive running style and relentless work rate provide the platform upon which Redcliffe’s attack is built. He makes the tough metres — the ones that come with three defenders hanging off his frame — and he puts his body on the line in defence without hesitation. In the unglamorous theatre of the middle third, Flegler is exactly the kind of warrior every pack needs.
