Top Blokes in the NRL? YES WE ARE!
Top Blokes was proudly displayed across Australia and New Zealand at the recent GC Titans vs Warriors clash in NZ.
The moment the Titans players ran out onto the field was a moment of pride for every young bloke who’s sat in a Top Blokes session. It was a moment for every parent who’s watched their son grow through our mentoring, and for every supporter who believes in reshaping what it means to be a man. Top Blokes everywhere had made the international sporting stage!
And now, we’re taking that message even further – straight into the new Rugby League ‘26 video game. If you’ve been playing, then check out the GC Titans jersey and bring Top Blokes into your screen at home!
@kieranforan Top Blokes Ambassador and all round legend shared, “To have the opportunity to showcase “Top Blokes” on the front of our jerseys for that game was such a privilege. I feel honoured to be an ambassador and am entrenched in trying to help them with their great programs that help shape our next generation of young men. The more opportunity like this that we have to promote organisations like Top Blokes that are making a real difference in our communities for mental health, the better for our societies.” Yesssss Kieran!
A huge thank you to @gctitans @lotteryofficeau @kieranforan and @nrl – your support has shared a strong message to boys and young men – You belong. You matter. You are seen.

This Loneliness Awareness Week (4–10 August) we’re joining @endlonelinessau to shine a light on what connection really looks like for young males in Australia and why it matters more than ever.
At Top Blokes, we work with thousands of boys and young men who tell us:
“You can be sitting there with your friends and just feel like you’re completely alone.”
In our recent submission to the NSW Parliament, we called out what the data and the boys are telling us loud and clear:
✅ 1 in 4 young males aged 15–24 experiences social isolation – the highest rate of any age group or gender.
✅ School exclusion hits boys hardest, with up to 85% of primary school suspensions being male.
✅ Disconnection isn’t always visible—it’s often masked by disruptive behaviour or silence.
That’s why we’re backing real moments of connection not just in schools, but at home, in sport, online, and everywhere boys live and grow.
Our programs create safe spaces for boys to:
• Build friendships based on values, not just proximity
• Talk openly about mental health without judgement
• Discover who they are beyond stereotypes
Because when young men are supported to be their full selves, the ripple effects are powerful for families, communities and futures.
This week, let’s #MakeMomentsMatter. Start a convo. Share a laugh. Check in. That small moment could change everything. #lonelinessawarenessweekau
