[edit] Biography

[edit] Childhood and early career

Caine began his rugby league career playing for the Gymea Gorillas before moving on to De La Salle Caringbah, he attended school at Endeavour Sports High School where he played rugby league in the Arrive Alive Cup and was signed by the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks.

[edit] Playing career

In 2006, after playing the early part of the season in the Sharks premier league side where he scored eleven tries, Caine was called up to first-grade to replace Tevita Latu on the bench for their round twelve clash with the New Zealand Warriors. Caine attempted a kick in play and was charged down by Warriors prop Steve Price resulting in Caine sustaining a severe knee injury.[1]

Caine signed with the Dragons for the 2007 and 2008 seasons, but the club released Tony Caine in 2008 after the 21-year-old quit to seek a complete period of rest for his troublesome knee.[2]
