This new weekly podcast with NRL larrikin Sam Thaiday delves into mental health in our elite sport stars.
Long after the last siren sounds and the last autograph is signed how do these athletes transition into every day life.
In the first 4 episodes Sam tells his story. The highest of highs and the lowest of lows from growing up in a mixed race family, to his own struggles with low self worth and the end of his NRL days.
Episode 1 drops Wednesday October 28th, wherever you get your podcasts
Just like the clubs, we thought we’d kick things off with a trial episode… and Sammy’s turned up injured.
In this “trial” ep we chat about Reyno leaving, whether the Broncos can keep Payne, and just how much Oatesy was offered to play for another club.
Plus Sammy got a new suggestion for a rule change that he tries out with Corey
and we’ve got all the insider news on this weekend’s trial games, the Broncos’ World Club Challenge in the UK, and the boys heading to Vegas Round with Why Travel.
