Violence In Sport Study: Why Won't Coffs Coast NRL Players Play Ball?

With violence in sport both on and off the field a constant topic of discussion, local PHD student Lauren Linton has decided to focus her thesis on the topic by interviewing a number of Rugby and Rugby League players in the area.

As she tries to understand the source of violent behaviour and it's connection to both codes of sport, she is finding that she's hitting roadblocks when it comes to getting local Rugby League players to take part.

A.B & Ben caught up with her to discuss the study and what kind of difficulties she's facing.
