This week we sat down with Adam Elliott. He signed his first NRL contract at 14 and has played nearly 200 games since.

Last year tested all of it. His dad died of cancer. His partner was pregnant, his bicep was ruptured, his contract was up, and for the first time in a career that started as a teenager, people were openly questioning whether he could still play. So he leant in, kept putting in the work on his own, and landed a spot at South Sydney under Wayne Bennett. Despite all the challenges reckons he has never felt more grateful for what footy has given him.

We get into the last conversations he had with his dad and the words his old man left him with, what it actually takes to keep going when the doubt is loudest, the dinner-plate trick he uses to stay a present father, why he still writes things down, and the moment his brother James became part of the team.
