Freno Bodica played in four black
00:00:01
jerseys, the All Blacks, the Kiwis, the
00:00:04
Moldi, and the Sevens.
00:00:05
>> It was either that mate or go to work
00:00:07
and so I was trying to prolong the go to
00:00:10
work as much as long as I could.
00:00:11
>> So you played for the All Blacks. Then
00:00:12
you went to and played for Wigan for 5
00:00:14
years and you were like a legend over
00:00:15
there. The fastest player to score a
00:00:17
thousand points.
00:00:18
>> Yep. Yep. That was a big deal.
00:00:20
>> Yeah, it was. I loved Wigan. Wigan's a
00:00:22
hole. That's a hole, bro. But
00:00:24
the people are amazing. I call him Mess
00:00:27
once. So he goes, "Hey, if I look at you
00:00:30
and I say, "Oi."
00:00:33
It's not because I hate you. It's
00:00:35
because I can't remember your name.
00:00:38
Okay. And we're all, "Oh,
00:00:40
>> what about Grant Fox?" Yeah. We sort of
00:00:41
established earlier that your career in
00:00:42
the All Blacks was sort of in his
00:00:44
shadow. Was he like supportive and
00:00:46
nurturing or did he see you as like a
00:00:48
threat or an enemy?
