Cowboys Hannant to visit PNG
The meeting has been organised by the NRL’s League of Life programme, the Central Province Premier Rugby League and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
According to a press statement, Hannant, who plays for North Queensland Cowboys, will talk about “fame and fortune do not bringing the greatest joy in life” and the importance of personal values like honesty.
Hannant said: “No matter who you are — whether a leading business person, a politician, a student or an employee, it is essential that integrity is one of your first objectives.
“If you can be honest in all your dealings, people around you and the organisations you work for will respect you.”
He will share his experiences as a successful NRL player, which he attributes to the great support from his family.
“Because of this strong family support I have, it is of my view that the most important role I will ever fill is not of an elite sports person, coach or mentor but that of husband and father,” he said.
Hannant, 29, played 12 State of Origin games for Queensland, six Australian caps and 192 games for the Brisbane Broncos, Sydney Roosters and Canterbury Bulldogs.
He entered rugby league at a young age and made his professional debut with the Sydney Roosters in 2005. Hannant and wife Emma have five children.
