The search for more rugby support videos continues—and this time, we’ve gone Down Under! 🌏

As many of you know, I’ve been hunting for videos from rugby legends to lift Sammy’s spirits. Why? Because every single one of these messages puts a huge smile on his face—and, let’s be honest, I’m a bit of a rugby fan too… but let’s keep that between us. 🤫

So where better to go next than South Sydney Rabbitohs?

And why the Rabbitohs, you ask?

Because of one man…

The Original Slammin’ Sam: Sam Burgess 🏉💥

Yep, Sam Burgess—aka Slammin’ Sam 1.0—is the reason my son is called Samuel and has now become Slammin’ Sam B (2.0).

If you don’t know his story, go watch The Sparkly Eyed Man—a documentary on YouTube by Russell Crowe. 💙 Watch it here

It’s one of the most powerful rugby documentaries out there, and for me, it was a game-changer during tough times.

Going through divorce, fighting for my eldest kids, and feeling like I was at rock bottom, that documentary gave me the spark I needed to smash through it (not literally—otherwise, I’d probably be writing this from a jail cell 😆).

So, naturally, when it came time to find the next rugby video for Sammy, I had to go to the last club I know Sam Burgess would be… the Rabbitohs!

And did they deliver? OH YES.

Not just one video—FOUR.

So that brings our count to:
🏉 Union: 3 (Ollie Lawrence, Finn Russell, Mark Wilson)
🏉 League: 4 (Campbell Graham, Jamie Humphries, Euan Aitken, Tyrone Munro)

Not that it’s a competition… 😉 because the rugby community as a whole is just amazing. 💙

Meet the Rabbitohs Legends Who Sent Videos to Sammy!

Campbell Graham 🏉

• Position: Centre / Wing
• Club: South Sydney Rabbitohs (NRL)
• Rep Teams: Australia (Prime Minister’s XIII)
• Why He’s a Beast: At 6’6″ (197 cm) and 97 kg, Campbell Graham is a towering force in both attack and defense. Making his NRL debut for South Sydney at just 18 years old in 2017, he has developed into one of the Rabbitohs’ most reliable backs. Known for his strong carries and defensive resilience, he earned selection for the Australian Prime Minister’s XIII in 2019. In 2023, he was awarded the George Piggins Medal as South Sydney’s best and fairest player. Although sidelined for the 2024 season due to sternum surgery, Graham is expected to return stronger in 2025. His consistency and leadership make him a key figure for the Rabbitohs moving forward.

Jamie Humphreys 🏉

• Position: Halfback / Hooker
• Club: South Sydney Rabbitohs (NRL)​
• Rep Teams: N/A​
• Why He’s a Beast: Standing at 183 cm and weighing 97 kg, Jamie Humphreys is a versatile playmaker known for his strong defensive skills and exceptional kicking game. He made his NRL debut with the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles in July 2024, scoring a try and kicking three goals in his first appearance. In 2025, he joined the South Sydney Rabbitohs and quickly made an impact. In his debut match for the Rabbitohs, Humphreys recorded a league-high 711 kicking meters and made 30 tackles, showcasing his ability to lead the team effectively. His calm demeanor on the field and leadership qualities have earned him praise from teammates and coaches alike. With his robust physical presence and strategic playmaking, Humphreys is poised to be a key contributor to the Rabbitohs’ success in the upcoming seasons.​

Euan Aitken 🏉

• Position: Second Row / Centre
• Club: South Sydney Rabbitohs (NRL)
• Rep Teams: Scotland (2016 Four Nations, 2021 Rugby League World Cup)
• Why He’s a Tank: Aitken has built a reputation as one of the most versatile forwards in the game, having played for the Dragons, Warriors, and Dolphins before signing with South Sydney for the 2025 season. His ability to slot seamlessly between the back row and centre makes him a nightmare for defenders, combining powerful running, defensive grit, and explosive agility. With international experience for Scotland and a leadership presence on and off the field, Aitken is set to make a major impact in the Rabbitohs’ lineup.

Tyrone Munro 🏉

• Position: Winger​
• Club: South Sydney Rabbitohs (NRL)​
• Rep Teams: Indigenous All Stars​
• Why He’s a Rising Star: At 186 cm and 85 kg, Tyrone Munro, affectionately known as ‘Ty Ty,’ has quickly made a name for himself with the South Sydney Rabbitohs. Making his NRL debut in 2023, Munro showcased his scoring prowess by crossing the try line three times in his first three appearances. His agility and speed make him a constant threat on the wing, and his resilience was evident when he played exceptionally well shortly after personal tragedies. In 2024, Munro represented the Indigenous All Stars, further cementing his status as a player to watch. Despite facing injury challenges, including collarbone issues, he has demonstrated determination in his comebacks. With a recent contract extension keeping him at the Rabbitohs until the end of 2027, Munro’s blend of athleticism and tenacity positions him as a key contributor to South Sydney’s future successes.
