Talking Real Estate with John Gibson, alongside co host Mark Warren, welcomes one of rugby league’s true heavyweights, Steve “Blocker” Roach.

Blocker’s resume speaks for itself. A Balmain icon who debuted in 1982 and went on to play 185 top grade games for the Tigers, he also had a stint with Warrington in the UK. He represented New South Wales 17 times in State of Origin, pulled on the green and gold for 20 Tests, earned multiple Dally M Team of the Year selections, and was later named in the Team of the 1980s. His legacy was cemented with induction into the NRL Hall of Fame, and more recently, the NSW Rugby League Hall of Fame. Off the field, he has built a long media career across radio and Fox Sports, becoming one of the most recognisable voices in the game.

In this episode, Blocker steps away from footy stories and media headlines to talk about real life decisions. Money, discipline, family, pressure, and what he would tell his younger self.

John brings the property lens, shaped by more than 35 years advising buyers and investors, to unpack the kind of thinking that actually builds long term outcomes. You will hear the trade offs people miss, the value of playing the long game, and a simple principle Blocker comes back to with no hesitation.

If you are buying your first place, investing, or just trying to make better calls with money and property, this is a cracking listen.
