Rhyse Martin is a current professional rugby league player in the U.K playing for The Leeds Rhinos. He has played for his national side the PNG Kumuls on 11 occasions since 2014 when he made his debut.

We chat about the ups and downs of playing professional rugby league, his humble upbringing in Australia, what it felt like to put on the NRL jersey and what he wishes he did as a younger player when he first entered into the NRL system - being more aggressive and less timid around his senior and respected teammates. This is something I love seeing - when a young player comes into the training environment, shows no fear and gives everything. We shine some light on this and some mental challenges during the chat.

Enjoy.
