NSW Blues coach Brad ‘Freddy’ Fittler has set off on the first ever 5000km Hogs tour of the regions to promote mental health and rugby league.

Freddy is joined on the first leg of his 10-day trip by Kangaroos legend Ian Schubert and Gotcha4Life founder Gus Worland.

He joined Ray Hadley while on the road via his Bluetooth helmet, a first for The Ray Hadley Morning Show.

The Hogs will visit high school kids to discuss “mental fitness … a bit of resilience, and a bit of a chat about whatever the kids want to talk about”.

“Everywhere we go Ray, every single kid gets a footy, so I look forward to having a kick around!”
