Anyone with WatchNRL can watch a 20-minute special interview with him and Yvonne Sampson. He seems to be doing well given the circumstances.

It was a great watch. It certainly challenges you to look at yourself in the mirror and no matter the circumstances, realise how lucky you are.

Feeling down? Give this a watch to get a boost.

I think the support for your people has never been as important as it is today. Both for your people and the organisation. Corporates have never held their responsibilities to their people as high as they have today. But there does seem to be a trend for organisations to demonstrate their worth by delivering more than the minimum requirements to their people and to in turn hold that as medal of honour. As surely as they should. Bravo Roosters.

If only they could grow the grassroots game in the Easter Suburbs

I'm not sure anyone much lives in the Eastern Suburbs anymore who would be a likely league player.

Probably people not interested in sports at all. Most families live out west, too expensive anywhere else.
