The Howie Games

One of the most gifted athletes this country has ever produced joins us for a Player Profile that celebrates an extraordinary career, and a ripping character!
The résumé is ridiculous. Three-time Premiership winner. Clive Churchill Medallist. State of Origin icon. Indigenous All Stars captain. Australian Kangaroo. South Sydney champion. Melbourne Storm superstar.
But this one is much more than the highlights reel.
GI takes us back to the beginning, from driving an old Gemini around the bush and earning his first $500 playing footy at just 14 years of age, to becoming one of the biggest names in Australian sport.
Plus, his favourite ever player and favourite player to watch!

From cult NRL winger to one of Australia's biggest media personalities, Beau Ryan's career has been anything but ordinary.
Beau takes us behind the curtain of breakfast radio - he is dominating on Triple M! - revealing the ruthless early-morning routine that gets him ready to entertain Sydney every day.
He also reflects on the humble beginnings, guest appearances on The Footy Show that quickly became an obsession, and the balancing act of building a media career while still playing NRL—under one very clear instruction from his coach.
And then there is a tale from Beau's Footy Show days that somehow gets more unbelievable with every minute. One of the best stories in ten years of the podcast.
Funny, honest and full of behind-the-scenes moments from rugby league and television, this is Beau Ryan at his entertaining best.
Beau co-hosts the Triple M Breakfast show on 104.9 Triple M Sydney alongside Aaron "Woodsy" Woods and Cat Lynch. You can catch the show live every weekday morning from 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM, or listen to the podcast on the LiSTNR App.

Few athletes have made the leap from the footy to tv and the media as seamlessly as Beau Ryan.
After carving out his successful NRL career with the Wests Tigers and Cronulla Sharks, Beau's natural wit and infectious personality turned guest spots on The Footy Show into the launchpad for one of Australia's most successful media careers, leading to hosting roles on The Amazing Race Australia, Gladiators and now dominating Triple M Breakfast.
Before next week's full conversation, Beau jumps into the Player Profile, including why Nathan Buckley is someone he'd "take a bullet for", the greatest athlete of all time in his eyes, and the players who left the biggest mark on his rugby league journey.
