Steve Menzies (born 4 December 1973), commonly referred to by his nickname "Beaver", is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer best known for his career with the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles. He also played for the Bradford Bulls and the Catalans Dragons in the Super League. Menzies has spent the majority of his playing career in the back row, but he also played as a centre, five-eighth and as a utility player off the bench.
He joined the Bradford Bulls in the Super League from the 2009 season.[4]
Menzies was a noted defender, but is best known as the most prolific try scoring forward in rugby league. His total of 180 tries is the fourth highest in Australian first grade rugby league history. In total, Menzies has played 520 first grade, state of origin and test games, scoring 251 tries.
He is well known for wearing headgear during games, having done so throughout his entire career, as well as his loyalty to the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles.
