Footy ‘coach whisperer’ claims he gave Roosters boss Trent Robinson an out-of-body experience that let him see the future – and had Russell Crowe barred from Souths’ locker room

A self-styled coaching guru who has worked with some of the top names in Australian footy has claimed he helped Roosters boss Trent Robinson see into the future by taking him on an out-of-body spiritual experience.

Bradley Charles Stubbs wears three NRL premiership rings which he received after helping Robinson and ex-Souths coach Michael Maguire take their teams to victory.

The so-called ‘coach whisperer’ – who charges as much as $5,500 an hour for his mentoring skills – also worked with ex-Queensland coach Kevin Walters during the 2019 State of Origin series, and his Instagram is full of photos of him with big names like Wallabies legend David Campese and rugby league supremo Peter V’landys.

According to Stubbs, he and Robinson (pictured) got a glimpse of the future when they experienced astral travel, also known as astral projection.

According to Stubbs, he and Robinson (pictured) got a glimpse of the future when they experienced astral travel, also known as astral projection.

He describes his purported mystical journey with Robinson in his new book, The Science of the Subconscious, which he says “delivers deeply into the essence of human potential.”

Stubbs said he and the three-time premiership winner experienced ‘astral travel’, also known as astral projection, which is said to allow people to separate their consciousness from their physical form and travel through time and space.

“I took Trent Robinson, Sydney Roosters NRL head coach, astral traveling in the lead up to the 2020 Roosters vs. Broncos match where I told him, and he saw a win of over 50+ to nil,” Stubbs wrote, according to an excerpt in the Sydney Morning Herald.

‘The Roosters went on to win 59 to nil. Finished!’

According to Stubbs, he and Robinson experienced a state in which “your mind leaves the body and goes into the future, and then returns to the body.

“You see the outcome out there and you gain clarity and unwavering confidence in your belief in the vision.”

Although the claimed exit experience preceded a great result for Robinson’s team in their fourth round victory over Brisbane, it did not appear to help the team achieve a third consecutive premiership that year.

The Roosters finished fourth but were eliminated in the final due to losses to Penrith and Canberra.

Stubbs also claimed that Souths co-owner Russell Crowe was locked out of the team’s dressing room while working with then coach Michael Maguire when the club won the grand final in 2014.

The motivation expert even claimed that Souths co-owner Russell Crowe (pictured during a match with fellow Hollywood stars Jeff Goldblum, second from top right, and Chris Hemsworth, wearing white cap) was locked out of the Bunnies dressing room in 2014.

He wrote that the Gladiator star did not send the right messages to players ahead of the finals series.

“I therefore ensured that South Sydney owner Russell Crowe, despite being a Hollywood celebrity, did not enter the changing rooms before the match and at half-time to talk to the players,” Stubbs claimed.

“He is not an NRL coach, had a ‘Gladiator’ speech prepared and would water down the messages Michael was giving.”

Stubbs’ unconventional methods have been raising eyebrows in football circles for years.

In 2019, Walters was criticized by Queensland Rugby League chairman Bruce Hatcher for paying Stubbs for advice on how to win the Origin series without the board’s knowledge.

“It amazes me that anyone thinks he’s so good that he can charge $5,500 an hour. That’s fucking crazy,” Hatcher said.

‘Kevvie (Walters) gets a budget and the QRL is very strong in adhering to that budget. I’d be surprised if Kevvie spent that amount in an hour.

‘Making sense of charging $5,000 an hour for advice that may or may not work. I wouldn’t know any surgeons who charge that and save lives.’

During the build-up to the games against NSW, Stubbs urged Maroons players not to talk about their NSW rivals under any circumstances.

Queensland players were told they would be fined if they named their opponents – with Maroons forward Jai Arrow unable to answer when asked by reporters what color his blue eyes were.

Stubbs has also claimed he was instrumental in Souths’ breakthrough in 2014, the club’s first win since 1971.

He said he challenged Bunnies coach Michael Maguire by telling him he would ‘cut my left little finger off’ if the team did not win the grand final.

Stubbs has also said that he can predict the outcomes of matches in advance, and can even accurately predict when star players will suffer injuries that force them out of matches.
