Matty was away in Townsville so here is our no.1 episode. Rugby League Guru joins me for a different kind of rugby league conversation. We dive into the making of the man behind the mic — from his journey as a teacher to becoming one of the most recognisable voices in rugby league. Head to Spotify for the full audio version. Apologies for the light in the intro.We talk timing, building a brand in the social media era, and what it actually takes to stay genuine when thousands of people think they know you. Guru also opens up about something he’s never spoken about publicly — the emotions around his brother potentially playing first grade — and how that shaped his perspective on the game. Plus, we get into his favourite rugby league games of all time, the moments that made him fall in love with the sport, and why being a rugby league nerd might just be a superpower. This is more than just footy chat. This is identity, timing, and the journey behind the brand.
