## Resource

SEASON 2 IS HERE 🔥 Kicking off with the man who started it all, Manu Vatuvei, was our very first Unfiltered guest — the episode that helped launch this whole podcast. One year on... Manu returns to reflect on 2025, his NRL career and the moments that defined him at the Warriors, and what it means to him to be giving back now. A full-circle kōrero about legacy, brotherhood, and life after footy. Enjoy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
