Join Mark Bouris and Anthony Minichiello for a special live podcast event hosted by the Sydney Roosters Business club.

Anthony Minichiello is a former professional rugby league player who captained the Sydney Roosters in the NRL, amassing 302 first-grade games. He represented both Australia and Italy on the international stage, as well as New South Wales in State of Origin.

In 2005, Minichiello was hailed as the best rugby league player in the world, but with the glory came a tough battle. Discover how he triumphed over a debilitating back injury and endured five years of relentless pain, emerging stronger through sheer determination and innovative fitness methods. We also dive into some incredible stories, explore Jared Waerea-Hargreaves' career, discuss what the Roosters mean to Mini, learn how he maintained his longevity, and catch up on his current ventures with MINIFIT.
