Quote: Grimmy "The people you mention are the exception, not the norm. It's not stopping them, but it makes it harder and far less likely. How many people in their mid 30s find themselves unemployed with no qualifications or work history? Yet that's where the majority of players find themselves when they retire. They make that choice but it would be naive not to realise they're sacrificing a lot.'"
Martin Corry is another. Got a degree and is now a Vice President at Salesforce or something like that. Rugby players, and especially Rugby League players, have to think beyond their playing career because the earnings aren't enough to live off for the rest of your life. I think Owen Farrell got a degree last year too.
The fact that you're a known figure will open many doors for you, but you've still got to have a bit of something about you to back it up.
