Organisers of this year's Rugby League World Cup will also be promoting mental health awareness and education programmes. "I lost one of my team-mates in Terry Newton and I think that perhaps put it on people's radar the importance of giving extra time to mental health. "Certainly, mental health in sport is right up there with the hottest topics and we'd like to be up there leading the way with that." "From the outside world, they might seem to have this idyllic life, but we all have mental health to some extent. Wigan are so proactive about the mental health side and I'm proud to partner with them because of that."
