I WAS interested to watch an interview with James Roby on Sky Sports, carried out very well by his ex-teammate Jon Wilkin.

James, as you would expect, spoke a lot of sense and I’m sure he’ll benefit the club hugely in his new leadership role. Hopefully, he can be a guiding hand for young people.

One point that really interested me was how James said he shows no interest whatsoever in social media. He talked about how he believed a lot of time people spend on these platforms - comparing themselves to the ‘realities’ created by others - was contributing to people suffering poor mental health.

I couldn’t agree more.

Far too much time is spent poring over these social media feeds, little of which is a true reflection of real life.

Sadly, it is unlikely we’re going to be able to say: don’t use them.

In my opinion, to solve this mental health crisis we need to build a curriculum into schools where children are taught about the benefits and harms of social media - and how not to use it.

The lessons could include real life examples from those affected.
