In episode 47, Mitch Wallis speaks to Greg Bird, a proud Anaiwan Man, born and raised in country New South Wales. He was a professional Rugby League player for an impressive 18 years, hanging up his boots in 2019 to move up to the Gold Coast and prioritise time with his wife and kids. This episode dives deep into untold stories of struggle both on and off the pitch.

this episode covers:

  • his unspoken story of struggle, stigma and feeling like a burden.
  • the impact of football on his mental health, from extreme highs to unmanageable lows.
  • the media's portrayal and what really went on behind closed doors.
  • anger on the field and run-ins with the police - from bad boy to family man.
  • injury, pain, addiction and grieving the loss of his father.
  • becoming a father and navigating his own identity change.
