‘Lost a mill, but gained a Millie’: Elliott sees lighter side of Dogs’ exit

Adam Elliott, a rugby league player for the South Sydney Rabbitohs, is preparing to return from a severe ankle injury that initially ended his 2025 season. Elliott previously played for Canterbury Bulldogs before leaving in 2021 amid a personal incident involving his future wife, Millie Boyle. Despite being told his season was over after suffering a ruptured deltoid and tibial fracture, Elliott defied medical advice through intense rehabilitation methods such as hyperbaric therapy, red light treatment, and dietary changes. He returned to training earlier than expected and expressed determination to complete the season, driven by personal motivation and a desire to prove himself after previous injuries and personal loss.
