Episode description

We all struggle with dark thoughts on occasion, some more so than others. Professional football stars are no exception. In this raw and candid conversation, former rugby league star, Willie Tonga opens up about his experience with depression and how he tried to hide it during his playing days for fear of being branded 'soft'. The Qld State of Origin representative knows first hand how serious depression can get after saving the life of his teammate and friend, Reni Maitua who attempted to take his own life.
