His nephew Tyler won two super-leagues of titles, the world club challenge and challenging cup in less than two seasons with Wigan. Still, Billy Joe was not forgotten of his success.
“My mom comes with his friends and my cousin, what will be good,” Tyler explains. “It would be nice to have my uncle on the stadium, but we are not exactly in touch with our American side. We came to it, but it is difficult to get in touch until it is great on social media. It would be nice to have a relationship.
“He doesn’t know about us really, but I’ve done a lot of research about him. Just like I realized I didn’t realize that I’m not having a sport. My mom and aunti isn’t very sports.”
Tyler’s grandfather William – Jackie and Billy Joe’s father – Life lived such a rich show was written about it last year and exhibition It was held in Halifax last month. New Orleans Roon, William Dupree had two identities. Encouraged for the Joe Louis box, he became known as Jack champion and fought more than 100 times.

“When my grandfather came here, he had my mom and my aunts, but by then he was in the sixties,” Tyler explains. “Because of my grandfather’s profession, I wouldn’t say that he was a player, but he put a little and there are a lot of children.”
At first glance looks a typical rugby liga stock: He was born in Halifax, and then the Amateur Siddal, then Leeds nosed and now plays for Wigan and England. Look closer and he’s something except. Leeds let him not do the first team performance and worked as a worker in the children for children as he sought another chance.
Knowing that his grandfather spent two years in the Japanese war camp, he may have influenced Tyler to look for a place in the British army. He was on his way to the interview when Oldham Rlfc called to offer him a chance. Instead, he signed up for coarse. It was a sliding door.

“I wouldn’t say it’s settling like I don’t think you can say you’ve ever settled in a club fully,” the 23-year-old says. “This is where a complacency begins. I always try to be the best version of yourself and definitely I feel like I’m in place where I will help me. I feel like I’m calling on that goal.”
With a pure movement of all four titles, 2024 was outstanding for Wigan and Dupree. “Last year was very obvious, but I missed international internations (Dupree rejected Hrsra Trener Shaun Wane Samoa), so I’m doing it this year and I can’t imagine that many other clubs could help me.”
Dupree also managed to graduate last year, completing a degree in sports science while acting for warriors. He attended two evening evening evening evening evening and pushed his job after training. “It was a bit surreal, but a massive weight raised her from my shoulders,” she admits. “Dating deadlines as well as performing on the field was quite stressful. It was hard, but I’m glad I did it and I know I made my mom proud.”
Dupree sees himself to follow Mom in the primary teaching profession. “My mom always told me that Rugby was another option, so my education always came first,” he says. “In primary school I only had a few teachers who believed in me, so I always wanted to repay it. I think I would be a good advocate as a teacher.
“I have always been quite grounded, but what helped me in most of me. I didn’t think that I was taken to wake up and smell my time. I’ve been able to have a lot more, take your time with much more people and I have more patience to understand other people in the team more. “
PEET management has also helped. “We dedicate an hour every week to get to know each other, we have an open floor and to leave each other our questions, whether good or bad,” Dupree says. “We all collect and Matty just opens the floor. It’s great to kill people to open. Everyone knows that it is a safe space. It was a part of why we had a primary year.”
That team spirit was on Friday in the late seconds of their comfortable victory in Hulu, when he won an hour earlier in the game, four Wigan players still abolished to touch in touch to Touch. “The table is one thing, but if we consistently see that together, Camaraderie and the relationship, it’s the main thing,” Peet said. “They are kinds of clips to show on our review before we look at fantastic things.”

Forty players and staff flew on Monday, and is expected that about 5,000 fans should be followed. Dupree is ready. “Las Vegas never interested me, but the more I saw the ads, quite exciting. I’ll be a good experience. We’re going to do the job. We’re going to deal with it as just another game, but that’s upset 10 for the occasion.”
An introverted personality is surprised, Dupree is careful for hide. “It will be the most exposure we had, different kinds of people, celebrities and sports people asking you for a photo, but I’m not coming to me. I wouldn’t be a rugby. That’s a job. We love a large offer made of us.”
It seems to be obliged, Dupree meets the criteria required for NFL’s international path of players; Young, fearless, hungry, fit, aggressive, ambitious and adventurous. Would he be tempted? “I would give it if someone came and gave me a chance. It shows that Rugby League sport that can be applied to many other sports, but I would probably not be in that position if it is not for rugby.”
