From Origin Fields to Sheep in Motels — The Danny Nutley Chaos Continues

Part 2 with NRL legend turned mining supervisor Danny Nutley is every bit as wild as you'd hope — and somehow even more real.

We’re talkin backyard barbies with Alfie Langer, black ice with a hungover Origin hero, team bonding, motel room stitch ups with stolen livestock (yep, a sheep and almost a horse), and the kind of off-field chaos you just can’t make up.

But it’s not all footy and piss-takes. Danny opens up on what it meant to wear the Maroons jersey, the phone call that changed his life, and how cancer made him see things clearer than ever.

From rugby league misfits to mining leadership and blokes doing it tough — this episode swings from unfiltered laughs to proper life stuff in the way only Blokes in Mining can.

You know the name from footy — Origin, NRL, Super League. But what you probably didn’t know is Danny Nutley spent 15 years in mining after footy, running crews, learning gear, and leading from the front.

In this ep, he spills on:

• How he landed his first mining job (the interview was wild)
• Shitting himself the first time he dropped a dozer over a dragline bench
• What makes a good boss on-site (hint: it ain’t the loudest bloke)
• Mental health, getting diagnosed with cancer, and why blokes need to speak up
• Building solid crews, calling out BS, and looking after your people

This is Part 1 of Nutley’s yarn.
Part 2 drops in 2 weeks — and yeah, there’s a wild Alfie Langer story you’ve never heard before.

Life on-site, laughs off it — and plenty of stuff no one warns you about.
In our very first episode of the Blokes in Mining Podcast, Drew and Dave rip into what it’s really like working away — from mental health battles and mouldy dongas, to missing birthdays, dodgy camp food, and the pressure that chews you up if no one’s looking out for you. Oh, and in this ep the big issue of who sh$t on the deck!

This isn't a Hollywood version of FIFO life — it’s the real yarns from two blokes who’ve lived it. Whether you're on the tools, waiting for someone to get back from a swing, or just curious about what life in the mining game actually feels like — you’ll get a laugh, hear some hard truths, and maybe walk away seeing things a little different.
