Literally could not have happened to a nicer, more genuine lad.
Even as a Wigan fan watching him break our hearts many times, never once felt an ounce of bad feeling towards him on the pitch. Quite the opposite infact, always a joy to watch.
Im auctioning a couple of items on Twitter @Rhinoshaund_VI
1st item - 2005 GF Match Ball signed by Leeds Rhinos a couple of weeks after the final in the Supporters Club where I worked. The ball is from the 1st penalty kicked by Paul Deacon which i caught in the crowd. Honestly, its my most prized RL possession but if it gets a bit of money for Rob and his family I am willing to part with it.
2nd Item - A medium, unworn, 2017 Leeds Rhinos home shirt signed on the front by the 2017 squad. Again, its special to me but like I said, its a worthy cause.
Head on to my Twitter for pics and make me an offer. Ends Boxing day, and Ill be at the game to deliver.
Awful news. My gran passed from MND, it's a bsatard of a disease.
I remember bumping into Rob in Philadelphia airport of all places, can't remember the year but around 2007/8ish maybe? He was sitting on the floor near the boarding gate waiting for the same flight as me back to Manchester. I think he was with his Mrs and at the back of my mind he may have been to Vegas.
Anyway, I worked for the airline in question at the time and asked the gate staff and crew if there were any business class seats left for a GB RL player. Tried to explain who he was but they didn't really 'get it', and I'm not sure there were any seats left anyway. Either way I couldn't get him an upgrade [i[size=85(if you've ever tried to get a humane response out of Philly or indeed NYC airport staff you'll understand)[/size[/i. Didn't want to bother him so he never knew.
