Bulls fan here, Elliot Minchella’s dad. How heartbreaking is this.
Spoke with Rob a fair bit when Elliot was in the scholarship and academy at Leeds, what a genuinely nice guy.
Attempted to watch his interview a few times but still can’t get to the end of it, so sad.
Really nice to see all the comments and wishes of support from fans of every club, but that was never in doubt.
A fantastic player but more importantly a fantastic person.
Heartbreaking

Just seen Rob, Lindsay and the kids at Stone Brigg Lane lights in Rothwell. I was absolutely desperate to just grab him and give him a hug, but obviously respect his privacy and didn’t want to make a scene when with his family. Rob lived in my mum and dad’s street in Ponty for years before recently moving, so he recognised us and smiled. Just as the news was starting to sink in, I’ve come home a mess again.

Watched it myself mate and as you say it was an excellent programme and very enlightening.
I just wonder when some of the footage was shot though as Doddie seemed to be managing every day things almost normally. But on SPOTY he was drinking from a specially designed drinks holder as he couldn't manage a normal cup or glass.

These are precious golden times for his family and the man himself.

I believe it was filmed over a 3 year period.

Fund just reached 200K wonderful effort

I went up to get tickets for the upcoming testimonial game. South Stand seats are nearly sold out. We could not get three together. The guy said the North Stand is going like hotcakes too. We've ended up in the Extentia stand.

If you haven't got your tickets yet, I'd advice you not to dawdle.

10k tickets sold. Plenty of space available yet.

LETS FILL IT ,
All those people who were entertained especially at the Grand Finals in which Rob won 2 Harry Sunderland M.O.M awards even if not regular supporters , come on down .

Not sure where he’s heard it but my mate mentioned talk of Rhinos and Bulls legends coming on after 60mins next Sun? JP, Kev, Fielden, JJB. AND.........the mighty Rob Burrow, subject to medical approval.

Wow ! That is really something if it happens
