Message: [QUOTE="Redfern_1980, post: 3684410, member: 19334"] Payne opens up on his turbulent year below and how he has matured into a better person: - Broncos saved him in his darkest hour. - looking forward to the birth of his first son in December. "I’m ready for more chaos". - learned of his father’s arrest just hours before Brisbane’s premiership game against Manly in May. Kev gave him the option to pull out but he refused. - just used to always having drama in his life. - Payne is more like father than an older brother, making lunches, taking his siblings to school and paying for their education and daily needs. - “I don’t want them to see the things that I saw as a kid and be around the certain things I was around". - "Once upon a time, I wasn’t a good role model to be honest. But you grow up in life and all I care about now is raising good kids with manners and good morals who treat people well". - is not proud of his rap sheet, but says the birth of his first child changed him. - the Broncos have given him a lot of chances, but they have been patient and helped him become a better person. - credits Kev for always believing in him. Will always be grateful to Kev and "everyone at the Broncos who actually cared about me as a person and wanted the best for me". - “Had they sacked me, I would have copped it on the chin because it was my fault, I was doing the wrong thing by them". - “They stuck by me and showed faith in some really tough times, so I will always have respect and love for the Broncos". - “This off-season has been the best thing for me. I just got away from a lot of things". - His 2 young brothers play as forwards for Brisbane Easts and he hopes they one day play for the Broncos. An awful lot for a young bloke to cope with when he has his own struggles to deal with and yet still turns up every time on the field, week in week out.
