Jonah (2019 miniseries)

However, his immediate playing future in New Zealand is unknown, and with the debut of Super 12, he signed to join Eric Rush back in Auckland Blues.

Jonah started his rugby career as a flanker, lock and halfback due to his size and strength, but as he learns the difference between the two codes, and gaining respect from the seniors.

After a time-skip to 1993, when Jonah became a senior at 18, he was already a try-scoring lock, and already had a taste of Sevens rugby, where his agent and manager, Phil Kingsley Jones, made first promises of his future.

Time returns to 1996 after his blood urine, he had doubts about marrying Tanya due to his parents' disapproval, so he went public in Paul Holmes' talk show, but after being hounded by paparazzi, he finally snapped and punched a photographer.

A month later, he won his first Super 12 title with The Blues despite only scoring 3 tries, and met John Hart, but a few weeks later, first signs of his illness showed.

A few months later, a nephrology specialist cleared him for Barbarians tour in the UK, but he had the worst outing thus far with the All Blacks, having committed 3 turnovers, and failing to break away from anybody.

When he started receiving treatment in 1997, he watched an old tape of him playing in 1994, the year when Laurie Mains suggested him to move from lock/flanker to a left winger, a trial in Counties Manukau was a successful experiment.

The movies jumps back to 1994, when Jonah impressed in the Possibles vs. Probables trial match., which leads to his debut in Christchurch's Lancaster Park against France.

After a shaky debut in 1994, and struggling to adjust to the move to left wing, Lomu vents his frustrations to Phil Kinglsey Jones, and feels dejected when he returns to ASB Bank to work a day later.

Apprehensive about the move to Australia, he seeks advice from Eric Rush, who suggested him to treat the 1995 North-South Prossibles vs. Probables trials match as a swansong, in case if he did decide to switch code and get a professional contract.

He initially brushed it off as he isn't 'built for long-distance', which may be true, but the blood test already showed impaired renal function while Jonah's medical insurance was being processed.

When the team lands in South Africa for 1995 Rugby World Cup, the press is still sceptical about his position change to left wing, having started off as a flanker.

While Kingsley tried to make a damage-control press again, Fiona, a more astute businesswoman with a business degree, saw through him trying to siphon money out of Jonah.

When he started, he met Penina, a fellow diabetic, but throughout his treatment, only Frank Bunce saw him, but even he was taken aback by the equipment and Jonah's plight.

Time skips to 2004, with his rugby career nearly over, he was playing Grand Turismo 4 on PlayStation 2 and trying to get Fiona's jacket, he tripped, but was unable to feel his feet.

In 2005, he made his return at Twickenham to play in an invitational match with Martin Johnson, but he dislocated his left shoulder in a tackle, and his glenohumeral joint was worn off.

He then came to a bar session, where he discovered that he was on Rupert Murdoch's radar, which could launch his brand and increase media exposure, as Murdoch is a media mogul that later launched rugby into the profession era, as players used to be on semi-professional or even amateur status, hence many players needed to work in regular jobs to stay afloat.

However, time skips to 2011, when a frail Jonah is on his way to hospital in Auckland, because the body rejected Grant's donated kidney, and was resuscitated after he went into renal failure.
