Adam Hills on prosthetics, league at Paralympics and Fonua-Blake – NRL.COM
Comedian and TV host Adam Hills talks about the goals ahead for physical disability rugby league (PDRL).
Dan Phillips is missing most of his right leg, from above the knee down. A truck hit him as he was cycling home after dropping off something at his wife’s work.
Then because of his determination to keep playing rugby league for the Warrington Wolves physical disability team, his wife Nat hid his prosthetic leg.
Comedian and league tragic Adam Hills, whose documentary “Take His Legs” screens at 9.30pm on Monday on the Ten and WIN television networks, still giggles at the story.
“I met him at the first open trial. We were supposed to be playing tag but he ran at me and he went in hard,” Hills tells NRL.com.
“Every time we ran at each other it got more and more physical. So he and I started to bond, partly because of that and also because he’s a leg amputee on the right leg like me just missing more than me.
