Peyton Jenkins is part weapon, part workhorse—and he’s only getting started. From his first memory of rugby league at the U13 grand finals with Brothers to his pre-game shave ritual, Peyton’s footy journey is one of grit, patience, and that classic CQ edge. His goals are clear, his game is growing, and when it comes to post-match feeds, one rule applies: the greasier, the better.
