When did you first learn about rugby league?
I first learned about league during the first training with the Cobras – back then still not being aware of the Big difference between league and union

How did you become a Cobra?
I decided to join the cobras as I was very interested in Rugby as it is not as popular in my home country. The Cobras seemed like a very friendly first step into the rugby world – was the probably the final step as well

Do you support a professional team or have a favourite player?
Don’t have a favourite team nor a favourite player … I’m more into practising the sport rather than watching it (but will never decline a proposition to watch a game with the lads)

Four Cobras Named in Griffin Cup Extended Squads

Dutch Coach Kane Krlic and his German counterpart Bob Doughton have named training squads for the upcoming Griffin Cup Test match, with four Cobras players among them. Captain Daan van Rossum and Halfback Ciaran Jaras have been called up for the Dutch Lions while veteran playmaker Liam Doughton and utility David Greiner have both received the tap for Germany.

“I’m really excited about it. Especially to stand with Liam, the German Legend with about 20 caps and my best friend, on the pitch to represent my country” said an obviously ecstatic Greiner of his first call up to the German squad, “A dream would become real.”

The match kicks off in Osnabrück at 15:30 Saturday 26th August.
