    I'm here because of the terrible sad news. On behalf of the Rugby League supporters in Australia, we are so sorry to lose such a wonderful man and player. Best wishes to Rob's family and close friends. We can feel your pain.

      Most of the gambling and entertainment pages Monday really hated the Big Freeze which happens every year on the Kings birthday long weekend. As someone whose neighbour's father went through it, I was ashamed that they were all Eff you MND fighters.
      Does anyone know If Rob had the ALS/MND variant the NHS has said 90% of cases are?

      What a shame that you never watched Rugby League, These guys earned nothing like the "Hyper Salaries" of some players in the Premier League of the FA, but when these guys took a tackle, they were back on their feet and back in the thick of the play. They are true sportsmen, not like some of the "Prima Donnas" who play football who limp off the field with a "Fractured Eyelash"

And then, of course, to deal with ALS in the matter he did sets him in a category of champion I can only dream to be within half a mile of. Vale, Sir, Vale.

      Yes, apart from him and Jason Robinson, we usually had to admire Welsh half backs such as Edwards, Bennett, and Davies for our entertainment on a rugby field...not seen him regularly, and from these clips clearly I had not appreciated what an athletic specimen he was...I'm awe-struck...so tenacious too...a real battler...all the way!

    Also how good was he when he was a child, the tries he scored against lad's who were twice his size was unbelievable.

    • @robmaddison8645
      @robmaddison8645 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I don't think he'd ever make an all time world great list but that's not really important. He's a club legend for possibly the best Team of the Super League era. For his size he was sensational and a unique specimen of a man. In terms of great tries he could possibly challenge most of the other top contenders. The first time I saw him I thought Jesus he's tiny but he used it to his advantage and embarrassed a lot of big men. Just think of the level of courage you'd need to have to be up against tough men twice your size who are looking to slam you to the ground at any opportunity. RIP Rob; I don't think any public illness and death of a household name has touched me as much as yours; not just for the cruel nature of your suffering but also for the courage and positive mentality you displayed during the hardest of times.

    • @nialloneill5097

      From the clips...he looks one of the best, but I am no expert. Loved to have seen him play for Wales in the days of their glory...he would have added something to those great teams, and like Jonathan Davies...his body strength must have been immense...at 5 5 to fly at that speed...that takes real power...
