Thanks for sharing. Picking up on your point of feeling cast aside after you retired, I think there is something to be said about the ability for an organisation like the Brumbies to maintain a relationship with ex-players given resource constraints for them and rugby in general. If someone from the club spent a good amount of time keeping in touch with ex-players, it would mean less time for another crucial part of their role.
Great they were able to help when you needed them though and in an ideal world, there would be support to prevent this from happening in the first place. Maybe there is space for a volunteer led ex-players support network that can be the conduit between ex-players and the club?
Your welcome Anthony and great suggestion. Robin Duff from RUPA does a great job supporting us has beens, but agree there’s scope for player driven support network.

Siblings are for teasing. My family group chat is absurd and we love it
Hi Ben,
Thanks for the hospitality last night.
A great game of rugby (apart from the score)!
Good luck to the Brumbies next week in Hamilton.
Hopefully lots of Canes supporters enjoyed that free beer 🍺 last night.
Cheers
Miles
Im sad about missing the big game! But I hope Canberra get out there and support them 🤞🤞🤞
