Earlier this year, Newcastle Herald sports reporter Josh Callinan wrote of Daniel Abraham: "From a practical point of view, he has pretty well got it covered. A local junior who rose through the ranks to play 106 NRL games, featuring a premiership with the Knights in 2001, twice representing NSW Country and adjudged man-of-the-match in a Newcastle first-grade grand final five years ago."
Abraham debuted with the Newcastle Knights in Round 9 of the 2000 season against the Penrith Panthers, but, as he reveals in this week's episode of Toohey's News: The Podcast, it wasn't his first time in the Newcastle colours. After initially being cut from the club, Abraham - now looking back on his career in the NRL - describes rugby league as and "honest" game.
"If you get cut, you probably deserved it," he says, looking back on a career that ultimately led him to become one of the Knights' longest-serving players, and 2001 premiership winner.
