I was absolutely gutted when I heard the news, then when he came on the telly I couldn't hold back the tears, what an amazing player, I'm sure he'll battle this like he battled during his marvellous career, good luck Rob and thanks for everything.

Heartbreaking. Just listened to his BBC interview and clearly his speech is already affected. Such a horrible disease with so few treatment options. I can't add much to the sentiments and tributes already expressed here and on various social media outlets.

Just hope he gets all the comfort and support that's available and that his wife and young family can get some financial security to help face a difficult and uncertain future. Dark days indeed

Im in bits. I really, genuinely mean that, that man has given me and everyone else literally everything he had on the field and to be struck down so young, with such a young family so early in life is simply heart breaking. Im numb.

It's just awful news. He's top bloke and a great player. I desperately hope something can be done for him, though medically I believe it's not possible. We play you in a 'friendly' shortly If you want to start a 'There's only one Robbie Burrow' chant I think we'll all be joining in.

In 2003 the club were putting on dinners with the players for season ticket holders and we got to sit with Rob. He was great company and full of hope for his and the club’s future.
I don’t pretend that I know Rob well but this has hit me really hard, maybe because of the fact that I’ve actually been lucky enough to meet him.
I’m absolutely devastated, it’s just not fair.

Terrible news .I had a close friend die from MND earlier this year and its a horrible disease. Hope he can pull through

Thanks to fans of other clubs for the touching comments on here and good to see the fund raising has already gone through £100k when gift aid included.

I’m not articulate enough to express my true feelings properly on here but many others have done it for me.

Absolute astonishing response to such a great humble bloke, who didn't seem to have a nasty bone in his body. Not sure if I can bring myself to watch his interview from what others have said, may break me tbh.

Over £100k now, that clip Of the interview is obviously still popping Up on social media and its getting me every time I see it, Rob were all behind you and it’s so heartwarming to see the response

One of those rare players who as a fan of an opposition club made you go "Oh " when you saw he was going to have the ball in a bit of space.
Sending him best wishes for the fight ahead.
I hope he can make it to Liam Farrell's testimonial so we can show our appreciation to a great player.

Heartbreaking news to hear about Rob's illness.
Although it's great to see such a fantastic response from not only the Rhinos fans but also from fans around the world with his fund raising page.

As Rhinos fans we have all seen him progress from being a young teenager in the academy to then go on to win plenty of silverware and accolades along the way during his illustrious career.

For me that is why he means so much to all of us as he was simply "One of our own"

and also why he almost feels like a member of each of our own families

Stay strong Rob
