Between 2013 and March 2015 five emerging rugby league stars took their lives in a tragic sequence that sparked the NRL into action.
Those players were Regan Grieve, Hayden Butler, Alex Elisala, Mosese Fotuaika and Fotu Francis Winterstein. Their deaths left an indelible mark on then NRL Head of Strategy Shane Richardson who knew something needed to be done
