What a great person. He was really over punished , but he has left all that behind. Just a pity that we never really saw his best football.
Joey is such a gun at getting players to open up
Great player and awesome human being. My late Dad's favourite player at the Sharks. Good to see Todd is in a good place
Thank you.
Who’s the dude in the t-shirt? Bro looks zoinked, he sticks out like a sore thumb 🤣
I remember him as the guy that peed in his own mouth. 🤣
They were hard on him. Look at what the players get away with these days. His was just a photo of him doing the bubbler and pretending to, and they crucified him for it.
Good Luck Todd
Well done mate
Todd, just stay off the drink. That’s it brother, but it’s a time equation. In time, prove to yourself that you are stronger than the grog. You then become, healthy and on it, and a beacon of light for those coming behind. Life, there is no replay……. Don’t waste any more…..
He was one of the best when he was at the Roosters! Always enjoyed watching him play. Spotted him a few weeks back at a cafe in Southport. Good to see hes still doing good things for rugby league 👏
Sadly i think this is the best interview I've heard from these guys …. i would have loved to hear more
I keep saying, make these longer, Ch 9. At least 20 minutes. Please.
Good on you boys for creating a space for one of the most talented players to play the game, who loved the game and loves his family. No one is perfect but for him to open up and speak about his whole life journey to being the man , the father and partner he is today was so inspiring and a beacon of humility.
Good on you Todd I grew up in Townsville n respected th way you played in nth qld.. fitted right in..
9:06 "I rang Suzie, she was Max at the time" o.0 😮
This is what happens to young players that are brought in, that are still kids and are too young, without those important life lessons under their belt. It has happened to other great players over the years other than just Todd – Julian O'Neill was another example of a player that went down this very dark path as well. In these situation, the NRL should in part, hold some responsibility and be to blame, for not providing some kind of "Mentoring Program" for these young kids, so they can be educated and learn these lessons so they can be kept on the straight and narrow.
Hard done by! compared to what some are getting away with now days.
Didn’t actually have a clean slate in Atherton….
Good to see he has found his peace , a pitty he never achieved his full potential with the natural talent he had .
Did he do Botox on his forehead looks like it
I remember watching him playing for Atherton roosters man he was such a good player loved to run awesome player good to see he's got things sorted now and his son is his focus 👌🏾 👍🏾
I know Todd's doing good things i went to a school footy clinic the other day at keebra high and Todd is one of the development officers there 👌
His first season at the Chooks, the man couldn't be stopped. Maybe the best season I've seen a player have.
Great natrual talent good on ya mate all the best for the next chapter in life👍
Apparently there are NO COLOURED PLAYERS IN THE NRL THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH TO REPRESENT THE GAME ON THESE PRIMETIME SHOWS. SUCH A RACIST FRONT LADS. YET YOU LOVE WATCHING THEM PLAY. SHOW SOME RESPECT AND DIVERSITY. FOLLOW NZs LEAD. AFL IS NO DIFFERENT BUT YEAH CARRY ON.
He had a bit of talent but the off-field stuff meant he never truly fulfilled his potential.
For anyone looking for more of him then podcast James Graham does had him as a guest twoce, almost 3 hours all up but its a good listen.
Slater give ya masonic hand signals a rest ya toss
Loose unit for sure. I hope his sobriety is long and fulfilling.
