DobbyGUEST
I, I always knew with that project that it would be about the river, and it was something that was, you know, it's, it's like I wanna write about the river because I know it's important to, you know, my family and my community and the community of Brewarrina, Ngemba country.

Blake SollyGUEST
Why is Latrell still there or after all of that history?" And I think if you ac- actually know Latrell away from the spotlight, um, he's a very sensitive young man.
Blake SollyGUEST
Um, he's a guy who genuinely believes in some of the things that he does, like, um, the foundation that he's created with Winmar and, and sort of creating some life-changing experiences for kids from Brewarrina and Taree.
Blake SollyGUEST
There's not many players would have the, um, emotional awareness to try and do something like that, let alone they get up and go to do it.
Blake SollyGUEST
Um, but then you have some of the challenges as well-
