Twelve months ago, few would have heard of him. But now Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad's elusiveness is a prime reason the Raiders are in a semi-final on Friday night.

And he also has the best rate of escaping the in-goal over the same period out of any player not named Billy Slater.A player who came from nowhere to drive Canberra towards a grand final this year, Nicoll-Klokstad is remarkable on and off the field.In 2010 his brother died, his mother went to prison and he flew his Auckland coop.

The softly spoken teen moved to Melbourne, becoming a Melbourne Storm junior, before joining the Warriors in 2016. But stuck behind Roger Tuivasa-Sheck across the Tasman, the Cook Islands representative performed his own contractual escape. A last-minute move to the Raiders prior to the start of round one this year led to one of the NRL's boom seasons.And then of course there is his record escaping the in-goal.
