Listen Later

This week on Behind the Roar, brought to you by Pro Wrestling Australia ‪@ProWrestlingAustralia‬ we sit down with Wests Tigers debutants Tristan Hope and Charlie Murray - two players who’ve taken the long road to the NRL.Hosted by Tim Grant, this episode dives deep into the challenges both men faced chasing their rugby league dreams - from juggling full-time jobs and family commitments, to grinding it out in Queensland Cup before earning their shot in the top grade.Hope opens up on reluctantly having to leave behind his pregnant partner and young child for a 17-week train-and-trial contract, while Murray shares his emotional reaction to finally making his NRL debut after nearly giving the dream away.The pair also reflect on their time together at Brisbane Tigers, the impact of coaches and mentors on their careers to date, and the moment they got the call-up from Benji Marshall to make their debuts - moments made even more special by the sacrifices they and their families made to get there.With honesty, humility and plenty of laughs, this episode is a must-listen for anyone chasing a dream, whether in rugby league or otherwise.
