If I could go back and change how I left the NRL, I would. My name will forever be tarnished but I wasn't the man I am now.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If I had my time again and was able to change one thing from my career then I wouldn't have retired. I would have played for Wales longer.
Your name or what you've done on the rugby pitch is not going to carry you through for the rest of your life. I realise I'm going to have to eventually do something else, and that does frighten me a little bit.
I have just fallen back in love with rugby league again.
The time I've spent in professional Premiership club rugby has been invaluable.
When things could've gone really bad, rugby caught my interest and I really stuck with it. The sport brought me, maybe off the streets where we'd be fighting, into putting in a good effort in the rugby field where you're kind of rewarded for that rough behaviour instead of in trouble with the law.
In my youth I thought I was going to be a professional rugby player.
I was a football fan before I became a rugby fan.
I wouldn't change anything because the mistakes and the hurt are as important as all the great fights. They made me who I am today.
I've got my head fixed on the next part of life. I know there will be an adjusting period of just not being a rugby player for a while, and over that period I'll get my head around what the next challenge involves.
I wouldn't go back and change anything.
