Bulldogs rookie Khaled Rajab has credited Mitchell Moses for helping to prepare him for the NRL as the Lebanon team-mates go head-to-head.
“The Lebanon boys have got a group chat and they were all just saying congratulations and sending me their support. It felt good,” he said.
“All the boys came down and all my family and cousins came down and it was a mad atmosphere. It’s probably the highlight of my life so far. “I knew what a special talent he was, even just training with him last year and at the World Cup he was honestly one of the best players when he came on,” Kiraz said.
