Paul "Siro" Sironen is a rugby league legend - an icon of the game.

An enforcer for the Balmain Tigers, NSW Blues and Australian Kangaroos, Sironen finished as one of the game's greats - a damaging back-rower capable of cracking a game open either in defence or attack.

Sironen's record is impressive - 246 games for Balmain (most for the club); 14 Origins for NSW; 23 Tests for Australia.

In our first Turn Back Time - a new weekly mini-documentary exclusive to NSWRL.com.au - Siro chats in-depth about his life in rugby league, his dream of chasing an NFL career (and Jarryd Hayne's hopes too), that iconic television advertisement and much more.

Turn Back Time will return in the new year with more NSW True Blue legends
