The full-length feature has been made for the Movember Charity, which specialises in male mental health, in partnership with rugby league’s official charity RL Cares.

Including footage from the Milford community club, the film focuses on the work done by some of the sport’s biggest names to deliver mental fitness workshops to young people, using their own stories and

life experiences.

Another Rhinos great, Keith Senior, is among those featured in the documentary, alongside past players Paul Wood and Robbie Hunter-Paul.
