But when I had it done, I was like, fuck, it feels good.

You know, like it actually feels all right.

Like the pain had gone and there was a bit of surgery pain there.

But I was like, I reckon I'd be all right.

So Dragons came in with the little deal.

I was like, if anything, this is going to help me with my rehab.

And I ended up playing a few games for them, which is cool.

With the old fake hip.

There you go.

So, yeah, first player to play in the NRL with a metal hip, Bionic Man.

And my first game for the Dragons was against Penrith, and it was my 150th game as well.

So I got debut and then 150 on the same jersey.

Oh, that's nice.

Four, but I played about 12 in the reserve grade.

And then Big Hook sat me down after the season and said, mate, you'll be playing reserve grade next year.

I was like, all right, you'll be coaching reserve grade next year.

I'm out.

So I gave away my contract, and that's when I did the movie with Russell.

There you go.

The first day of filming on Land of Bad with Russell was the first day of preseason for the Dragons.
