Reece loves directing, particularly saying "Cut!" when things go off topic, which pretty much means anything that's not about footy, which he loves. Reece's story shows how blokey sport can create space for everyone, in their own way, on their own terms.

Reece is a young man of "all-abilities" and a huge fan of the Collegians Rugby League Footbaell Club. This is the story about how the players and staff have woven Reece into the fabric of the club — not just as a supporter, but as part of the team. We hear from players, coaches, and Reece’s family and friends, including Jimmy, whose friendship with Reece helped open new doors. From shyly hanging back at training to proudly joining the team in the sheds after a win, Reece’s journey is one of growth, belonging, and joyful disruption. He brings laughter to tense moments, keeps the team focused, and never misses a chance to sing the team song. This is a story about inclusion that doesn’t feel like a lesson. With interviews, candid moments, and plenty of Reece’s humour and heart, the episode offers a beautiful glimpse into how sport can create space for everyone, in their own way, on their own terms.
