Let's make this birthday one to remember.

39 years old (Born on April 05, 1986)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Laurie Weeks! You've been steamrolling opponents since your Reds days, and the Melbourne Rebels haven't known a dull scrum moment since you stepped into that number 3 jersey in 2011. The only thing tighter than your prop technique is the respect you've earned on every pitch.

Here's to all those moments we've cheered as you crashed through defensive lines, leaving rivals looking confused and teammates smiling—classic Laurie at his best. May your birthday bring as much joy (and fewer bruises!) than tackling opposing props every weekend. Keep pushing hard—we'll gladly raise a toast (and ice packs) to our favourite Rebel tighthead!
