RIP Rob. Inspiration to so many

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

I’m genuinely upset by this news. I’m a big Bradford Bulls fan, lots of family from the City and Rob obviously spent his entire career at Leeds but he was one hell of a player. He defied the odds to become one of the best of his generation.

The way he and his family and friends have given their all to raise awareness and money since his MND diagnosis has been selfless. He battled MND as hard as he battled on the rugby field and it’s been a sad and inspiring sight seeing how he’s never let it get him down.

RIP Rob.
