I'm sure by the time you guys wake up down under you might've seen the interview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSktA9oLux4). Among other things, he comes out as gay.
I remember his stint at the Warriors after he left us being calamitous. He was in the bin every single game.
Makes sense now with the drinking and stuff.
Hope it all is better for him now.

What a brave interview.
Best of luck to him now he can be himself couldn't imagine having to hide who you are for so long
Hope he finds some happiness and peace now.
Met him once at the 2018 fan day. Was a top bloke. As a footballer, he is the prototype in how a damaging Prop forward looks.
I do wonder if he was a case of playing the game cause they are good at it more than they love it.
But to be admit not only about his sexuality but the honesty about ending his life, it's brave.
Good on Trent Robinson too for reaching out and helping him.
Super, super brave and vulnerable of Kane to come out with this interview.
The fact that he's only the second openly gay NRL player after Ian Roberts 30 odd years ago shows how many young men he will be helping because statistically speaking there have been a heck of a lot more NRL players who probably haven't felt safe enough to do what Kane has and speak about it.
It's so sad that there's that much anguish that goes into just being able to be who you are. The poor bloke.
I hope he finds some peace and is able to live his life now, find love like all of us deserve. Sexuality is one tiny part of what makes us each who we are, we're not defined by it and it shouldn't ever cause us to hide away from the world.
Massive props to Kane - this would have taken a world of courage. And I hope everyone shows him that this ain't the 1950s anymore and he gets the support and acceptance he deserves.
I know of one former player who felt he couldn't come out during his career.
I hope more players are able to its naive to think only Kane and Ian Roberts are.
Aside from that to be open in his mental health battles is very strong and I hope he has nothing but peace now
