In a heartwarming tribute ahead of Women In League Round, Cronulla skipper Cameron McInnes has credited his wife Rachel for a life-changing act that has had a profound impact on their family.
McInnes, known for his tough-as-nails on-field presence, opened up about how his wife's keen eye and quick actions led to the early detection and treatment of their son Talanoa's autism diagnosis in 2021.
With Rachel's support and dedication, Talanoa is now thriving thanks to her unwavering love and care.
As the NRL community comes together to celebrate the often unsung heroes of the game during Women In League Round, McInnes didn't miss the opportunity to give his wife the credit she deserves.
Just like a well-executed play on the field, Rachel's actions have truly been game-changing for their family.
Looking ahead, McInnes, a proud family man both on and off the field, is committed to ensuring their other children, Noa and Mia, have the same chance to shine in life.
With Rachel by his side, he is determined to provide the same level of care and support for all his children, nurturing their dreams just like a coach inspires their team to victory.
