    Always had mad respect for this bloke. Does my head in when the public jump on someone for making a mistake like they’re all perfect. You’re a legend Duges! Keep ya head up brother.

    Nothing but respect for this interview - mens health is very important and I hope anyone watching this today with problems. Please speak out to your mates! Nothing braver than speaking about your feelings.

    Typical media... bash someone mistakes until he breaks down and then try to show the good after it to they don’t look like the bad guy. smh 🤦‍♂️

      Ironically though, none of it would take place without the media. Be it the good and the bad. It's sad, but I guess you got to roll with the punches and try to find the good in things. You can't say this is bad. It's definitely good. Just the way it came about is how you find the irony. Just an add on to your very astute comment.

    Such a good interview and wish he had a longer NRL career. I know he's a much better bloke now you can see his sincerity in this interview,, but I wish he would've called out and admitted that he himself was a bully in school lol

    When he played for Canberra I thought he was going to be the NSW/AUS Fullback for years. He really seems to have missed his potential as a player. I can't see him playing for NSW again.
