​ISAAC KUSTO - Hawks Male Player of the Month -September 2021

It is fair to say that a Club can be built around a player and a person like Isaac Kusto.

A player who has proven himself at every level and a player who brings out the best in his team mates with a never say die attitude.

Isaac started his career with the Hawks as a fleet footed 9 year old and was soon an integral part of the Liam Liston coached juggernaut. A link or middle, Isaac proved himself against the best in the state and was rewarded with selection in the Sydney Scorpions Squads. Isaac has speed and knowledge that allows him to control games and dominate opposition teams.
 
In a family of four children (one his twin), it is fair to say that Isaac has learnt a lot about touch from his older brother Jake, his sister Giselle and his twin brother Finn who are all established players for the Hawks. Needless to say the best lessons have been learnt off his parents (Ben and Yvette) and his natural ability has plenty of good judges in the district comparing his ability to his father Ben who is a former NRL player with the Eels and Dragons and also a former touch player at Ryde Eastwood.

Some of Isaac's career achievements are highlighted below:

- Three Players Player Awards in five years
- Three years chosen in the Sydney Scorpions Squad
- Winner of three local competition grand finals
 
Coach and mentor Liam Liston said that ‘Isaac was not only one of the most coachable players he has coached but he also has a unique ability to bring out the best in the players around him with his personality and skills. He is a player who has a never say die attitude and loves to compete. If he commits to hard work; his skills and passion will see him go all the way’
 
Congratulations to Isaac on being the Hawks Male Player of the Month for September 2021.
