Top bloke underrated player
I really enjoyed this, it's fantastic to learn people's journeys
Well done cob absolutely great podcast. Proper lad talking about footy love it keep up the good wor ya ginger c###😂😂😂😂
I liked the honesty!
SL clubs need to learn their lesson. They take too many guys whose bodies are shot to pieces. I've got sympathy for Joel. But if his ankle was busted before he signed for Saints then you have to ask questions about the people who performed the medical.
Love the podcast! Just curious if you're interested in enhancing your shorts section, I believe it holds immense potential. Would love to get an email address or any of your social media platforms to further discuss what I can offer to you guys!
Thank you James , had no idea what this kid was going through ❤
