Description

It’s the Season 3 finale of Who’s The Boss?—and we’re wrapping it up with laughs, champers, and a bloke who knows his way around a footy field and a farm fence. This week, Bossy and Adam are joined by one of Rugby League’s toughest tacklers and biggest personalities: Nathan Hindmarsh.


From life on the dairy farm to 330 NRL games with the Eels, Hindy takes us on a wild ride through footy, family, fatherhood - and how he ended up with more cows than trophies. He opens up about what made him a tackling machine, the pain of never winning a premiership, and why he preferred pre-season to the season itself.


We talk motorbikes, Man from Snowy River reenactments, and how he once missed a week of school for a BMX and a brown pair of jodhpurs. Plus, the secret to surviving Fletch, the science behind his freakish fitness, and how he once nearly joined the crusty demons.


So pour a glass of bubbly, settle in for a cracking yarn, and enjoy the chaos of our season finale with one of Rugby League’s most down-to-earth legends. This is Who’s The Boss?
