YOU'D think by now Anthony Minichiello would have had enough of lacing on his boots for another rugby league year - but coming into his 15th NRL season the 33-year-old Roosters skipper reckons this is the most excited he has ever been ahead of a new season.
And it's all because of his new baby girl Azura.
The NRL biggest stars will come together tonight to officially kick-off the game's 107th season and the likeable Minichiello has been asked to be the headline act.
After nearly having his career cut short because of a series of terrible injuries, the 2005 Golden Boot winner has won the admiration of everyone in the game because of the courage he has shown to fight his way back to the top.

It all culminated in him captaining the Roosters to last year's grand final triumph, and after representing Italy at the Rugby League World Cup, he returned home to what he calls "the best prize of all.
"Every season gets much tougher and the players get stronger and the teams get better but this is the most I have ever looked forward to a season," Minichiello said.
"To now get to play in front of my little daughter each week has made me look forward to this like never before.
"2013 was pretty special, there is no doubt about that.
"And to finish it off with a little daughter is the best prize of all."

Little Azura got to watch her first game of footy last Saturday night when Minichiello led the Roosters to a crushing win over Wigan in the World Club Challenge.
"I went and held her straight after the game and it was a special moment for my family and I," he said.
"She was dressed up in a little Roosters' jersey and it was just a great night."

Minichiello first signed with the Roosters 18 years ago as a 16-year-old before his first grade debut in 2000.
Since then he has made 275 appearances for the Bondi club and won two premierships along the way.
On top of that he played 11 State of Origins for NSW, 18 Tests for Australia and three Tests for Italy.
Now he will have the chance to try and lead the Roosters to back to back premierships for the first time since Brisbane in 1992-93 and 1997-98.
