One freakish pass in a match against the Broncos in Brisbane in 2003 made Sione Faumuina an overnight rugby league sensation. But Sione would learn the hard way that fame comes at a price, and good intentions are not enough, especially when alcohol takes hold. He seemingly had it all, but for most of his career he struggled with the demands made on a professional athlete, and the temptations that are all around during the downtimes. The Second Phase tells Sione's story, from childhood, through professional sport in both hemispheres, to the life of a blue collar worker, to starting a business, and a family, in Australia. Sione pulls no punches, unveiling his shortcomings for all to see. At 35, he has many chapters to write, but he appears to be on the right path, and this autobiography is a courageous part of his transformation.
