this one will land with plenty of people for obvious reasons.. People usually just want a sensible outcome here. damn.

Late night scrolling, but this is a great story. Good on Kane for being brave.

Cameron Diaz2026-06-12T17:03:26.000Z

Another media hype piece. Players do this for attention these days.

Drew Parker2026-06-12T17:28:26.000Z

it still matters when blokes are scared to be themselves in a sport like league. Progress isn't done.

Cameron Diaz2026-06-12T18:38:26.000Z

whatever, just saying my opinion. You don't have to agree.

Drew Parker2026-06-12T17:13:26.000Z

It's midnight here but this is important stuff. Mental health matters even for tough rugby league players.

it's huge. Young players need to see this stuff to feel safe coming out themselves.

Covid was a tough time for everyone, glad he's doing better now. Webster seems like a good bloke.

Blake Turner2026-06-12T18:48:26.000Z

fair enough, guess I was being a bit harsh. Good on him then.

Blake Turner2026-06-12T17:48:26.000Z

yeah nah, who really cares about a player that only spent one season here?

Eva Anderson2026-06-12T18:08:26.000Z

This makes me proud of the Warriors culture. Webster gets it.

Sam North2026-06-12T18:28:26.000Z

Good on him. Takes guts to speak out. Hope the league community supports him properly.

Taylor Wright2026-06-12T18:58:26.000Z

late night thoughts: why do we make such a big deal out of coming out in 2026? Shouldn't matter anymore

Taylor Wright2026-06-12T19:18:26.000Z

yeah I guess you're right, still feels weird it's news in 2026 though

gracepatel2026-06-13T02:59:26.000Z

maybe, but this reads cleaner than real life usually looks.. The details are where these stories usually change shape.

peytonhall2026-06-13T05:13:26.000Z

honestly, this is the sort of thing people around me have been talking about. People usually just want a sensible outcome here.
