rip Rob, not a follower or watcher of the league game but he certainly high lighted this dreadful disease, no matter how inevitable his passing was it's a sad loss to the sporting world

Im not a rugby league fan so had never heard of him before this shit befell him.

But wow, what a brave bastard and what a good mate he had in kevin sinfield.

The footage of sinfield lifting him out of his chair and carrying him across the line at the end of the marathon has me in bits

I hope rob has found peace now and his family can deal with the huge space he will leave behind

RIP brave man

A truly powerful image of friendship. Kev will be even more determined now to raise awareness and money for MND.

Just got in from work and the whole family sobbing, watched the last 5 minutes and I was joining them. Seemed a great guy, lived a full life and hope he has an impact on this shit disease.
