In this episode of Scoreboard, Chris Titley sits down with former Wallabies captain Steven Moore for a thoughtful and grounded conversation about life in and after elite rugby, leadership, and the mindset required to perform at the highest level.

From growing up in regional Queensland to earning over 100 Test caps for Australia, Steve reflects on the journey through professional rugby and the standards required to succeed on the international stage. He shares insights into the realities of elite sport, including the pressure, discipline, and consistency needed to compete against the best teams in the world, as well as the evolution of leadership across his career.

Now a managing director, board member, and father of three, Steve discusses how his focus has shifted from individual performance to building teams, developing leaders, and creating impact beyond the field. He explains how lessons from rugby such as preparation, accountability, and teamwork continue to shape his approach in business and life today.

The conversation explores high performance habits, the importance of consistency over perfection, and how preparation drives confidence. Steve also opens up about nerves, resilience, and the mental side of competition, including how elite athletes learn to embrace pressure rather than avoid it.

Chris and Steve also dive into life after sport, including the challenges of stepping away from the arena, finding new purpose, and adjusting to a different pace of life. From watching his kids play sport to navigating leadership in business, Steve reflects on identity, balance, and the importance of rest in a world that rarely slows down.

It is a grounded and insightful discussion about leadership, preparation, and what it means to perform consistently whether on the rugby field or in the boardroom. Steve also shares the moment that helped spark belief early in his journey and why that mindset continues to influence how he approaches life today.

From Test match arenas around the world to leading teams in business, this episode is a practical look at discipline, perspective, and building a life beyond the game.

In this episode of Scoreboard, Chris Titley sits down with Mitchell Pearce for an honest conversation about life after rugby league and what it really takes to evolve once the game is over.

From a career that began as a teenage prodigy to representing New South Wales in State of Origin, Mitch reflects on the pressures, expectations and emotional rollercoaster that come with elite professional sport.

Now living in the south of France and coaching in the European rugby league system, Mitch shares how retirement shifted his mindset from individual performance to service and leadership. He talks about the lessons learned through football, the discipline that shaped his career and how those same habits now guide him as a coach, mentor and father.

The conversation also explores mindset, personal growth and the changes Mitch made later in his career that helped bring clarity and balance to his life. From training for a marathon to building healthier routines and focusing on purpose beyond sport, he explains how high performance can evolve long after the final whistle.

It is a reflective discussion about responsibility, identity and the journey of finding peace after years in one of Australia’s most demanding sporting arenas. Mitch also shares the moment that gave him the confidence to believe he could make it in professional rugby league and why the lessons from those early years still guide him today.

From State of Origin arenas to coaching fields in France, this episode is a thoughtful look at growth, perspective and what success looks like when the scoreboard is no longer the only measure.

In this episode of Scoreboard, Chris Titley sits down with former AFL premiership player Will Schofield to talk about life after professional sport and the challenge of building something new once the final siren sounds on a football career.

Now the co founder of BackChat Studios, Will shares how he has transitioned from elite athlete to media entrepreneur while navigating the realities of leadership, business and family life.

Will reflects on the lessons elite sport teaches about resilience, feedback and moving quickly to the next challenge.

Those same lessons now shape how he runs a growing podcast and media business, scaling from two staff to a national team across Perth and Melbourne.

Along the way he discusses the changing media landscape, the rise of independent content creators and why authentic partnerships are becoming more valuable than traditional advertising models.

The conversation also explores personal habits and performance away from sport.

Will speaks candidly about stepping away from social media, giving up alcohol and reclaiming time and energy to focus on business, family and personal growth. What started as small changes quickly became powerful routines that have reshaped how he approaches work and life.

From coaching young footballers to navigating leadership and mistakes in business, Will shares a grounded perspective on competition beyond the scoreboard.

He admits he does not feel like he is winning at life yet, but he is firmly in the race and learning every day.

In this episode of Scoreboard, Chris Titley sits down in person with former AFL Lions captain Tom Rockliff for a candid conversation about life after professional sport.

From playing more than 200 AFL games with Brisbane and Port Adelaide to now running his own business, Tom reflects on the transition from elite footballer to entrepreneur and father.

Tom opens up about the reality many athletes face when the game finishes. After years of structure, competition and purpose, retirement can leave a void. For Tom, that journey included a difficult divorce, time away from his kids and a period where he had to rebuild both personally and professionally. Running became a mental reset, journaling helped him process the day and working with a psychologist gave him strategies to regain clarity and direction.

He also shares why giving up alcohol became a turning point in his life. What started as a short break quickly revealed how much clearer, healthier and more present he felt without it.

Combined with routine, exercise and strong personal principles, Tom explains how these habits helped him become more grounded and focused on what matters most.

Now running Rockliff Finance and balancing work with fatherhood, Tom talks about the lessons sport gave him that translate into business.

Competitiveness, resilience and discipline remain central to how he approaches life today. While he admits he did not have the natural athletic gifts of many players, he believes his football IQ, determination and willingness to work harder than others were the traits that allowed him to carve out a long AFL career.

This episode is a powerful reflection on identity after sport, personal growth and learning how to rebuild purpose when life changes direction. Tom’s message is simple but meaningful: focus on the fundamentals, stay disciplined and aim to be the best version of yourself every single day.

In this episode of Scoreboard, Chris Titley sits down with Todd Carney for one of the most raw and reflective conversations on the podcast to date. A former NRL star now working as a pathways coach with the Gold Coast Titans, Todd speaks openly about the highs of professional rugby league and the very public lows that followed.

Todd describes rugby league as the greatest rollercoaster of his life. It gave him success, identity and opportunity, but also shame, heartache and lessons he had to learn the hard way.

He revisits the turning point that changed everything, the drive to rehab on the 24th of February, a moment he now calls his true Scoreboard moment.

From that day forward he committed to sobriety, rebuilding trust and redefining who he wanted to be as a father, husband and mentor.

The conversation goes deep into discipline and selfishness in high performance sport. Todd argues that young rugby league players must be selfish in the right way if they want to make it, prioritising the game over distractions, ego and temptation.

He reflects on alcohol, gambling and the environment that can swallow talented athletes, explaining how central alcohol was to his downward spiral and why removing it changed everything.

Now approaching 40, Todd talks about fatherhood, routine and daily habits that keep him grounded.

Early morning training, cold showers, structured sleep and one day at a time thinking are his anchors. He is honest about slip ups, about the ongoing work required to stay sober, and about accepting that his past will always be part of his story.

This episode is not just about rugby league. It is about accountability, identity and second chances.

Todd does not hide from the mistakes that defined headlines, but instead uses them as tools to guide the next generation.

His message is simple: if you are going to chase the dream, commit fully, own your decisions, and never ignore the moment you know something needs to change.

If you follow rugby league or care about the human side of elite sport, this is a powerful listen.
