Let's make this birthday one to remember.

37 years old (Born on October 18, 1987)

Happy birthday, Michael Hobbs! Remember when you joined the Blues back in 2012? It was as if Auckland had won the rugby lottery—suddenly our midfield had charm and flair sprinkled with a fine dash of unpredictability. Opponents never knew quite what hit them—or perhaps that's just your hairstyle confusing them!

From making brilliant passes at first five-eighth to creating memorable tries, you've always been solid gold on the field. And even though we tease about your moves off the pitch (like keeping a keen eye on hair gel sales), we truly appreciate you. Have a fantastic birthday, champ—you've definitely earned it!
