Liam Knight : From Rehab To Rugby League

In this week’s episode of the Elevate with Mets Podcast, we sit down with professional rugby league player Liam Knight for a raw and powerful conversation about resilience, identity, and redemption — both on and off the field. Liam opens up about his early days in rugby league with Manly, the tough decision to leave for the Roosters, and the challenges that came with chasing opportunity without the right support network. He shares the struggles he faced with ego, lifestyle choices, and the mental battles that nearly derailed his career. We dive into the turning points — from his move to Canberra, the lessons under Wayne Bennett at South Sydney, to the brutal injuries and surgeries that forced him to confront his identity beyond the game. Liam speaks candidly about his journey through rehab, giving up alcohol, and doing the deep inner work through therapy to rebuild his life and mindset. Now playing for Hull FC in the Super League, Liam has reignited his love for footy, found clarity in his purpose, and is setting his sights on returning to the NRL with stronger leadership and perspective than ever before. This episode isn’t just about rugby league — it’s about facing your demons, rebuilding after rock bottom, and finding purpose beyond identity.
