Derek Hay has been at the helm on a tougher road to Gundagai's latest grand final. Gundagai is a proud one-team town whose fortunes rise and fall with the Tigers. Derek Hay found that out the hard way during two seasons in a coaching partnership with Blake Dunn. However, after stepping back this season with Aaron Gorrell coming on board, the Tigers captain has embraced his new role. Now he's looking to lead his hometown club to a fifth Group Nine title in the past 10 years at Equex Centre on Sunday.
