Kiwis Rugby League Legend - Mark Graham’s INSANE Fights & Injuries from League’s Toughest Years

Mark Graham is the greatest NZ rugby league player of all time! The G.O.A.T acronym gets thrown round a lot these days but the man known as Sharko IS the real deal: He was named NZ rugby league player of the century. He’s the first Kiwi inducted into the NRL Hall of Fame. 18 tests for the Kiwis as captain and Warriors coach for 2 seasons. And he did all this playing in an era when rugby league was so brutal he broke almost every bone in his body. Now this humble Kiwi legend has a documentary all about his life and career made by his son, Luke. It’s called Sharko- look out for it. I’ve seen it twice and I love it. THIS podcast is a small part of the Mark Graham story. *** Thanks so much to my show sponsors, the Generate KiwiSaver scheme who have been supporting the show for over a year now. If you have a KiwiSaver and it is not with Generate you should consider switching over. There is a reason these guys win so many awards. “Set it and forget it” is the strategy that most kiwis adopt when it comes to their KiwiSaver. And that is NOT a good plan- You could miss out on extra money simply by choosing the wrong fund for your age and stage of life. Generate, pride themselves on giving great KiwiSaver advice. I have experienced it first hand and, I know I’m supposed to say nice things about them, but it genuinely was helpful, informative, quick and easy. Getting some good advice now can help you get your future sorted.
