In the lead to this week's huge NRL Grand Final between the Brisbane Broncos and Melbourne Storm, I had the absolute privilege of chatting recently with rugby league legend Wally Lewis on Legends with Bevo! We covered some really important topics, including how he's going with his battle with CTE and whether more needs to be done to protect today's players after their careers. Wally also shared his thoughts on the season of his beloved Brisbane Broncos, what it meant to represent Queensland in State of Origin and his country, and even opened up about his wedding earlier this year. And of course, we found out why he's not a fan of being called “The King” Such an inspiring and honest chat with one of the all-time greats. Thanks so much to Wally for his time, to Gabrielle Prabhu from Dementia Australia for teeing up the chat, a big thanks to the team at Podbooth for a great job of putting the episode together and Callum Dunk from Funky Dunky Marketing for putting together this thumbnail.A huge thankyou also to our loyal series sponsors Steve Chapman from VH Motor Co and Ryan Bridges from Elders Goolwa.

Cameron Munster takes us inside the harrowing day he learned of his father’s passing, right in the middle of the most important State of Origin preparation of his life. From the couch as a kid — pizza in hand, wide-eyed as the mighty Queensland Maroons went to war — to carving out his own unforgettable Origin moments on the biggest stage of all, Munster’s journey is raw, inspiring and deeply human. We dive into the highs of Premiership glory with the Melbourne Storm, and the crushing lows of defeat on the final day. We explore the famed Storm culture, the uncompromising influence of Craig Bellamy, and how those around him have shaped Munster not just into a brilliant footballer, but into a bigger, better person. This is more than rugby league. It’s about resilience, redemption and what it takes to rise when life throws its toughest challenges your way. *** Follow the Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/ Follow the Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegames See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
