Not sure if memes having a laugh are the way to go...
Really sad stuff, there is too much of this in NRL.
Too much of a "I'm a tough guy, I can't talk about my feelings" attitude and expectation in the culture.
The NRL promotes promotes themselves as a safe space but still expects every player, manager, official, staff member to tough it out through this culture that has to change.
It's no surprise that there are no gay men in the in the NRL are publicly out, it's perceived that it will damage their relationships and their brand as a player.
Talk about depression, talk about what's troubling you.
Open yourself up to your mates. Tell them you aren't OK.
Don't listen to the negative thoughts in your head because your mates want to know and they want to help you.
Talk about what's getting you down. Get some help.
