🌟 Why This Podcast?
The journey to the NRL is complex and competitive. Every year, thousands of players dream of making it, but only a few succeed. The Seventeen Media Podcast breaks down this process, giving young players and their families the information they need to make smart decisions. From understanding representative selections, to navigating NRL contracts, to knowing when and how to get a player manager, we cover the details that matter most.
We don’t just talk about highlights — we dig into the realities of rugby league development. Our conversations go beyond the field to explore education, work-life balance, injuries, and the support systems that keep players on track.

🎧 Who Should Listen?
Our goal is simple: to celebrate rugby league’s next generation, share the stories that inspire, and provide clear guidance for anyone navigating the pathways from grassroots to glory.
🚀 Why It Matters
Rugby league is more than a game — it’s a community, a career path, and a lifelong passion. By shining a spotlight on player pathways, we help the next wave of talent and give fans a closer look at how their future NRL heroes are discovered, developed, and supported.
The Seventeen Media Podcast has already featured NRL players, pathways managers, and experts who live and breathe the game. Each episode brings fresh perspectives, practical advice, and motivation for anyone who loves rugby league.
