Three years after making his NRL debut, Preston Campbell was awarded the Dally M Player of the Year after a stunning season with the Cronulla Sharks. But twelve months after winning the game's highest individual honour his life almost ended. In this raw, candid and honest episode, Preston talks to host Wayne Schwass about the rage, anger and isolation he felt that led to that fateful day as well as the need to keep up appearances, how he stayed down in an NRL game and the importance of asking for help and why we need to support one another. It's a powerful story of one man's struggle and ultimate triumph.
