R I P Rob .. thing is your illness brought to light the predicament of thousands of suffers from and raised millions of pounds for research into the horrible motor neuron disease .. a short life but not lived in vain .. also remember the dedication and love shown to Rob by Kevin Sinfield who will carry on the great work in his name
Just watched the BBC documentary, and admittedly I didnt know much about him or what he was going through until just now. Was so devastatingly sad and couldn't stop crying. Such a horrible disease but hopefully it has even more exposure now so one day it may be cured. So sad for his family and friends.
Had me crying from minute one. The bravery of him, his family and his friends is just beyond belief.
And the morning after his death, they all come out for the start of the new hospital/treatment facility they’re building in his name from their fundraising.

Just unbelievable heroes.
The sense of loss for his family must be huge and it will take time to sink in. It's great that they have the building as a focus to take away some of the sadness.
I hope his wife and kids get all the support they need.

Not playing rugby may help. 15 times more likely to develop MND playing rugby. Four times more likely to develop Dementia.
saw this on tv this morning and wondered if Charlton meant us. And it does. It’s a no brainer. Him and his son are one of us. Either the club or us lot should do something to help.
Also I wonder why a guy born in Leicester playing rugby supports us. Glad that he does though.
