My Take
Brad Thorn is, quite simply, one of the most remarkable athletes I've ever read about. Representing Australia in rugby league and New Zealand in rugby union is a feat that borders on the impossible, and doing it across a twenty-two-year career from age nineteen to forty-one is almost absurd in its longevity. What impresses me most isn't just the talent but the sheer durability and discipline that demands. His move into coaching the Queensland Reds feels like a natural extension of a mind that clearly never stopped studying the game. To me, he's the very definition of an iron man, and I respect that enormously.
