One moment Jack Howarth was scoring a thundering try; the next he had his pants pulled down on national television.
One moment Jack Howarth was scoring a thundering try for the Melbourne Storm; the next he had his pants pulled down on national television.
But one game last year lit the fuse for Howarth and when he got his chance to establish a starting centre role, he grabbed it with both hands, playing 19 games this season. “It’s big moments like that, if you can capitalise on them, that can change the momentum of a game or a final.”Yet later in the game, Howarth looked to have out-muscled an opponent only to find a desperate Joey Manu grabbing his shorts and pulling them down, exposing his backside to 29,000 fans in the stadium – and millions watching from home.
Howarth moved from Rockhampton to boarding school at noted rugby union school Brisbane Boys’ College, where he played with Wallabies star turned Gold Coast Titan Carter Gordon and was good friends with Gordon’s brother Mason.
