Chair skills, quick brain - how O'Neill adapted to wheelchair rugby league

"If you'd said to me when I was told I couldn't play rugby league again that it's going to be the best thing to ever happen to me, I'd have said 'you're lying'. But discovering wheelchair rugby league, which is even better, has been a blessing."

Rugby league has always been an important part of Finlay O'Neill's life. When he dislocated a knee while playing in a game at the age of 16, he put it down to the rigours of the sport.

The knee popped back into place but continued to cause issues, leaving the Halifax teenager struggling on the field and with increasing pain off it too.
