Uh, before we talk about some of the, the footy stuff, uh, tell us a little bit about the role that you've just taken on with the RLPA and, and what you've been doing, you know, previously in the last couple of years post-footy, mate.

Yeah, sure.

So I've, uh, recently taken on Jamie Burey's old role as the General Manager of Football and Player Ops.

You know, Tommy Simons moved to the Rugby Union Players Association, which was a big loss for us, but it's, uh, actually worked in my favor, this one, and I'm excited to be on board with a great team that's really passionate about, you know, ensuring the players' voices are heard and, and, and respected.

And for the last six years, Scope, I've been the Head of Education and Wellbeing at the Eagles.

So, you know, post-playing, I've been lucky enough to stay involved in, in the game that I love, and it's given me so much, and it's, it's a real passion of mine, serving the players.

So to be able to do it at a whole of game level across both the NRL and NRLW now in my new role is something that really excites me.

Uh, now that you're in this role, what do you think are the most important things that, you know, players need to identify when it comes to post-career and, and, and trying to set up life after 40? Like, what, what sort of programs are the RLPA putting in, in place for these players?

Uh, before we talk about some of the, the footy stuff, uh, tell us a little bit about the role that you've just taken on with the RLPA and, and what you've been doing, you know, previously in the last couple of years post-footy, mate.
