“Petero was the one who was massive for my career. He came in 2008 when I was 21 and it was perfect timing. He was someone I idolised growing up. Not only as a player but I learnt so much from how he treated people and the family man that he is. He's such a genuine guy & I learnt so much about being a good person, I was lucky to play with him and it's something I’ll remember for life”
My special guest is Tim Grant. Tim is a professional Rugby League player at the Wests Tigers. His extensive career has seen him play over 180 first grade games across Wests, South Sydney and his junior club the Penrith Panthers. He debuted in State of Origin for the Blues in 2012 and also made the NRL All Stars in 2013.
