@MN5 😂 I’m a millennial I’m starved of attention.
You are all given far too much attention. That is the problem.
I can’t believe he has a one year old at his age, I wonder if he struggles to pull out of his driveway
Pulling out would have been a solution in the first place for sure.

Watched the latest ep today, jeez, I hope these boys (current and former) are getting the off field support they need at provincial to AB level, during and post career!

Just watched the last episode. Those guys were my heros as a kid and it is great to see them together, and the struggles with life after their success is completely understandable.
Must be hard for any ex sportsman to adjust to life. The body craps out.. unless your Ritchie of course and it just keeps going abs going, but we know he’s a freak.
They spend most of their 20s and 30s even in a bubble where everything is planned for them and looked after. Then oneday it’s over.
Have enjoyed their comradery during the show too -

Have enjoyed their comradery during the show tooReally hard to adapt. I have gone from airline captain to businessman / property developer.
A gauranteed income, to fucking earn it or go broke.Some of those guys are my age, some are running a business, some are working for others I assume, but the change is immense and not being able to do a job that you love anymore...Well.

Yeah I think ( hang on just let me put my grumpy old man hat on ) that the fact a lot of them are in their 40s like me makes me resonate with them heaps more than Akira, Reiko, Aaron, TJ and whoever else is playing today.

Wish this show was on a bit longer so we could see even bigger transformations.
Howlett keeps himself in good nick. He looked about the same as he did during his playing days.
Good to see Iceman make an appearance. His speech during the jersey presentation was quality.

@Paekakboyz they get media training though too which helps.

One of the telling comments early on was Pita Alatini talking about how he was dropped at a time that he thought he was at his peak playing form and had no explanation so had problems processing that and it led him to some bad choices/dark places.
I hope the NZRU were watching and took note. I would like to think that mental health is looked after these days but recent Ioane(s) examples seem to indicate more work needs doing.
