Most of the ideas cooked up in pubs are dead by dawn, but when Rachael Pearson glanced up at the TV as she hobbled around a pub selling raffle tickets, she knew something had to change
But when Rachael Pearson glanced up at the TV as she hobbled around a pub in southwest NSW selling raffle tickets for a meat tray, she knew something had to change.
“At the end of 2017 I broke my foot, a Lisfranc injury. I was selling raffle tickets in a pub for a meat tray, walking around with my moon boot on. The TV was on. As it is in a country pub, the footy is always on. I looked up and thought ‘I want to play rugby league’. Now the quartet have linked up again, only this time they are all players in Kylie Hilder’s NSW squad preparing for Friday night’s State of Origin clash with Queensland at Canberra Stadium.
