Rowell said it feels surreal to be getting the attention of players he idolised.

“I was pinching myself a bit,” he said.

“As I said, I’ve looked up to people like that since I can remember, so just to even be texting them is something I can’t really get over.”

Rowell also discussed comparisons to Chris Judd, his role in the win over West Coast and more.
