Sad sad news this - thinking of Rob and his family (and Geoff his dad)

Best wishes - Bulls fan

Wow devastating news. Was just talking to colleagues at work about this awful disease the other day after Doddie Wear was on SPOTY and saying how it is neglected for research due it being so rare then this.

Rob was pound for pound the toughest player i have ever seen on a rugby field so know he will fight this all the way.

Terrible news, thoughts are with him and his family

Terrible news for Rob and his family.
I found Doddie's feature and his speech on SPOTY incredibly moving.
Tough fights ahead for both men and their loved ones.

Dont know how I can add to the comments. Heartbreaking news those three young children. Why does it seem to happen to the best people. ?
Hard to believe it's only 2 years since his last game

Best wishes to Rob Burrow and his family at what must be a deeply traumatic and devastating time.

FWIW Rob Burrow was one of the few that as the opposition, you needed to have a bad game and rarely did he have such. He tore Wigan to pieces and SL to pieces too, here’s hoping he gives MND the same treatment.

Heartbreaking, truly heartbreaking.

This is dreadful news. Rob is one of my favourite players, even being a Hull fan.

Heartbroken for Rob and his young family. Devastating news.

I very rarely go to other boards, but just felt i had to wish Rob and his family all the best.. Fabulous player, and more importantly, always came across as a lovely bloke.

Devasting news. Cannot believe it. It’s made me feel numb reading this news
