Playing career
Stevens made his first grade debut for Easts in 1974, and was a member of the 1975 premiership-winning side, where Easts thrashed St George 38–0. Stevens' later career was threatened by a series of knee injuries, forcing him to play as a prop in reserve grade in 1980 when Jack Gibson's decision to bring him to Parramatta drew much criticism. After missing the semi-finals with an elbow injury, Stevens was a valuable member of Parramatta's maiden grand final victory over Newtown in 1981.[2][3][4]

gollark: Are you using dimscord or the other one?
gollark: It's full-featured because it has 2 features and we didn't want the other ones much.
