Found this on the NRL Forum website
IT'S hard enough to cart a child around a shopping centre, so we reckon Shane Shackleton must be a tad on the crazy side when he opted to drag his eight-year-old daughter up Heartbreak Hill.
Proving that props are indeed a bit short between the ears, the injured Eel walked last Sunday's City2Surf with his girl Tania, father Phil and niece Layla.
"I had to carry her at times but she got through most of it," Shack told us. "I can't tell you how proud I was. We both ended up with blisters and bruises to go with the aching muscles, but we got through it. It was tough but really enjoyable."
Shackleton, who finished more than two hours behind wiry NRL boss David Gallop, took his family along to the so-called fun run to raise money for the Steve Waugh Foundation.
"I guess raising a bit of money makes it all worthwhile," he said.
"The time was well over three hours but we finished and that's the main thing."
Suffering a horrific leg injury in round one, Shackleton returned to full training last week and is eyeing a return should his Eels manage a miraculous finals appearance.
"I'm just getting myself ready and I'm here if the team needs me," he said. "I reckon I will be ready for the finals but I need to get on the field before then to prove that I'm fit."
Promising i say,

Good to see him pumped up and ready to go!
Its funny when people on this site talk about next years side and he isn't in there 17 at all, he has had bad luck this year but he is a quality player his trial form at the start of the year suggested that he would be hindys long term partner in the back row.
1st grade very soon i hope
Get Ready For The SHACK ATTACK !!!
I will reiterate and make it short and sweet.
Shacks = Genuine Nice Guy, i.e. Tink loves Shack! :-)
I have an article which I will see if I can track down about it. It will convert you all into Crazy Shack fans!
