This is a very special episode to myself and Rhys and one of the things I am most proud of in my career so far.
It's called Rabbitohs Raw and was originally taped as a special feature piece on Fox Sports for Indigenous round in the NRL in 2021.
This is the extended cut which includes my entire interview with Rabbitohs superstars Latrell Mitchell, Cody Walker and Damien Cook.
If you missed the original episode, it can be found on Kayo Sports at any time.
In this chat we have a bit of fun and get to know the guys a little bit better. But the main purpose of this round table discussion was to investigate the topic of race and on a smaller scale, what it's like to be a black, high profile athlete in Australia in 2021.
Guys like Latrell Mitchell and Cody Walker have been subjected to some vile abuse and racism throughout their careers but have always stood tall and taken a stand as proud Indigenous men.
Today they open up about it all, supported by their non-Indigenous teammate Damien Cook, who speaks on what he's seen these guys go through and how he believes we all need to listen and educate each other to move forward as a society.
It's an enthralling chat packed with additional content that couldn't make the TV version because of time constraints but should still be heard.
It's all part of an important conversation and by listening in to today's episode you are showing that you too are willing to learn and make a difference... so thank you.
I hope you get something out of it.
