Chris Lawrence and Joel Reddy named in NRL Academic Team
Wests Tigers players Chris Lawrence and Joel Reddy were today named in the second ever NRL-RLPA Academic Team of the Year.
Rugby League today unveiled the extent of its education revolution with Federal Minister for Tertiary Education, Skills, Science and Research, Senator the Hon Chris Evans, unveiling the NRL-RLPA Academic Team of the Year showcasing studies in pharmacy, theology, commerce, education and small business.
Lawrence is studying Bachelor of Commerce at Curtin University. He is also a Director of ‘Live Play Work’, a company he formed that conducts sports and physical education programs in Sydney.
He also runs school and community lifestyle programs and is a director of Groundwork Health, an online training and nutritional company.
Reddy is studying Bachelor of Exercise Physiology at University of NSW
The NRL-RLPA Academic Team of the Year features players from 14 clubs who between them have played 2,667 NRL matches, 30 Tests and 26 State of Origins. Each of the players received a new Ipad.
“This is a team that represents the future of our athletes and the game,” Interim NRL Chief Executive, Mr Shane Mattiske said.
“These players demonstrate that a career in Rugby League is not a choice between sport and education.
“Increasingly, we are seeing Rugby League open up new career and education opportunities that may otherwise not have been available to our players.
“It certainly underlines the significant role the players, NRL clubs, the RLPA and NRL have played in making education and workplace training an important part of Rugby League’s culture.”
