ARLC chair Peter V’landys says a mentorship initiative offering disadvantaged kids access to rugby league’s elite players has the potential to “change lives”.
South Sydney stars Latrell Mitchell and Cody Walker have helped launch the “outside the box” mentorship initiative aimed at curbing violent youth crime in regional NSW.
“You’ve got to understand that impact. Peter and Andrew do a great job in working with the police force and getting us out here to be that missing piece.“For us NRL and NRLW players, it’s something we love to do and it’s getting out here and showing the kids that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel if you work hard enough. If you do bad things there are repercussions. If you do good things you get rewards.
Police, magistrates and judges would need a “high degree of confidence” they would not commit a further “serious indictable offence”, which carries a minimum punishment of five years in jail, if granted bail again. Minns said his “great fear” was a young person committing a serious driving offence where they kill themselves, their loved ones or a member of the public.
