Mackay is already a home away from home for Cutters recruit Jack Quinn.
Hailing from Dubbo in country New South Wales, the 21 year old former Penrith U20s big man comes from quality football stock and an upbringing ready-made for the rigours of the Queensland Cup.
Once a standout schoolboys rugby prospect, Quinn boarded at Sydney private school St Joseph’s College Hunters Hill where he played First XV in the prestigious AAGPS system.
After graduating in 2017, Quinn was quickly plucked from rugby by the Panthers, where he spent two seasons in the U20s system before signing with South Sydney for 2020.

Girgensons played the part of tenacious forechecker and penalty killer who was also able to increase his offense during his first season under Krueger, tallying his highest goal (12) and point (19) totals since 2014-15. We all can feel the hole that Zemgus leaves with his injury - the character, the work ethic, the role that he has in our group is something that makes him unique, Krueger said.
