Trent Hodkinson, take a bow.
The Newcastle Knights playmaker may not have had the greatest season, having been dropped from first grade for a large part of the year, but he has easily won the feel-good story of 2017.
On Wednesday night, Hodkinson escorted Hannah, a massive Knights fan, to her school formal.
Her school, Kurri Kurri High, brought the formal forward from the end of the year to the middle of July because Hannah has terminal Ewing sarcoma - a cancer found in the bones or soft tissue.
