Brad Thorn joins the boys to talk about his legendary career across both codes. We cover the water tank run, Alfie Langer, and the truth behind the Super League era.
Brad Thorn is the kind of bloke who has seen it all in the world of professional footy, and he joined us to tell the stories that didn't always make the highlight reels. We get right into the heart of his upbringing, starting with the move to Australia and the influence of his father on his relentless drive.
One of the best yarns involves the legendary water tank run, a moment that defines the grit Brad became known for throughout his career. He talks us through his time in Rugby League, sharing what it was actually like to run out alongside Alfie Langer and the madness of the Super League era when the money got serious.
We also dig into the transition that changed everything: his switch to Rugby Union. Brad breaks down the motivation behind the move and the challenges of adapting to a new code after reaching the top of League. It is an unfiltered look at a dual-code legend who remains as grounded as a teammate at your local club.
