Three of the biggest names in Australian rugby league threatened to boycott a Kangaroos tour because they did not want to room with Ian Roberts after hearing rumours that he was gay.
The shocking revelation comes from Light – The Ian Roberts Story, a documentary scheduled for a cinematic release to coincide with next year’s State of Origin series. It is a chance for Roberts – the first and only Australian professional male rugby league player to come out as gay – to tell his incredible life story.
Some of the biggest names in the sport – including coaches Trent Robinson (Roosters), Ricky Stuart (Raiders), Ivan Cleary (Panthers), former Kangaroos and premiership-winning coach Tim Sheens, Kangaroos and Balmain great Wayne Pearce and former NRL chief executive David Gallop – have been interviewed for the movie.
