    A few sports stars have been diagnosed with this horrendous disease including footballer Marcus Stewart and I can't help but admire the bravery and shear determination they all show in coming to terms with it!
    I'm the first to say I'd fall apart if I was ever diagnosed with this and if I was to EVER "make it" financially, I'd want to throw everything into doing research around the clock finding a cure to beat this!
    I don't follow rugby league but I have huge admiration for this man and I hope all is done to make the time he has left as fulfilling and comfortable as possible!

      It's so awful , I really don't know how they are going to cure something that kills cells in the brain and spinal chord . I just hope they can develop a treatment that can slow it down and people can live with it and not die of it. My cousin was a rugby player like Rob and he got an awful kick in the spine playing rugby . He got MND and died at age 41. He was 6ft 7 as well.

    He’s got a mixed voice here. At times he’s about 90% there, other times it’s quite bad.
    I’d reckon he was starting with this when he was still playing.
    Heartbreaking really, regardless. A man in his late 30s with young children and potentially a brilliant life ahead.
    Hopefully at the very least a mechanism to slow the MND effects is found soon.
