Josh Stuart Reveals Why He Thinks “NRL” Could Also Mean “Not Real Long”
Today’s guest was one of the hard men of the NRL when rugby league was tough. If today’s guest had played in the 80’s he would have been one of the best front rowers in the game in what was then a gladiatorial sport.
However the mid to late 90’s saw the NRL really trying to clean up its image. By the time the year 2000 rolled around, some would say the pendulum had swung too far in the other direction, and the sport has now become sterile. Today’s guest was scrutinised closely by referees and the judiciary.
Growing up in the Northern Beaches he didn’t have to go too far from home to make his NRL (ARL Debut). He played for the North Sydney Bears from 1995 to 1999. The Merger of Manly and the North Sydney bears saw him play 2 seasons at the Northern Eagles before retiring in 2001.
He played a total of 108 NRL/ARL top grade matches and finished his career in the top 13 players of LEAGUES longest ever suspensions. 12 weeks for 2 high tackles in 1998 sitting just above John Hopoate. Today he his own Finance business in the Northern Beaches of Sydney.
