Joel Caine, known for his humor and style on the 'Run Home with Joel and Fletcher' show and Sportsbet's Get Em Onside podcast, recently announced a significant change.
The host revealed that he will be taking a break from both shows and all his media responsibilities.
On Tuesday, Caine shared his unexpected news on social media, expressing feelings he never anticipated facing.
"Hey Rock solids. Just want to be upfront and honest," he stated.
"We aren't robots. My turn right now. Struggling, never thought it would be me, but it is."
Shortly thereafter, SEN issued a statement regarding Caine's hiatus from broadcasting.
"Caine told the network today that he needed some time away from the microphone to work on his ongoing health," the statement noted.
"The network respects Caine's decision and will continue to support him through this time."
Beloved by fans and colleagues alike, the rugby league figure is highly regarded in the media landscape.
SEN boss Craig Hutchinson praised Caine's bravery in sharing his personal struggle.
