In this latest instalment of the Legends Series, we sit down with a true icon of rugby league — a man who proudly wore the green and gold of the Australian Kangaroos, represented New South Wales in the fierce arena of State of Origin, and remains a beloved figure at his hometown club, the Illawarra Steelers.
Rod Wishart joins us to reflect on a storied career that spanned one of the most exciting eras in the game. From his humble beginnings in the small coastal town of Gerringong, to being coached by some of rugby league's all-time greats, Rod shares candid insights, career highlights, and the values that shaped him on and off the field.
Plus, we get his take on the current footy landscape — including his predictions for the finals series and which team he thinks has what it takes to go all the way.
This is one for the true fans. A celebration of grit, loyalty, and local pride — don’t miss it.
