Amateur Rugby League Is Different… Brinko Explains Why | Bloody Amateurs

Welcome to Bloody Amateurs — the podcast that celebrates the legends, the lunatics, and the lords of amateur sport. Your host is Dennis McQuillan: the big hits, the bad decisions, and the even worse stories that somehow get better every year.

Today’s guest is a man who’s done it all — tackles he probably shouldn’t have made, nights he definitely shouldn’t remember, and a career that still gets talked about in sheds up and down the country. We are joined by Alan “Brinko” Brinksman. We’re diving into his rugby league journey, reliving the glory days, the near-deaths, and the absolute nonsense that only amateur rugby can produce.

Expect laughs, honesty, and a few stories that might never make it past the team WhatsApp again. This is Bloody Amateurs — let’s get into it. 🏉
