Just stumbled across this ....
(Fbook)
Everybody said you were small, but with heaps of confidence you always stood tall.
Growing up seeing you on the screen, wishing you were playing for our favourite rugby team.
We really want to thank you for all the memories.
Although at times when we played you, we were sometimes enemies.
Waking up that day, we all heard the news, facing a serious disease. You might just lose?
Seeing your face, we were all so sad,
nobody knew it was going to be this bad.
MND is a disease that nobody knew,
the pain and heartache it has put you through.
It's been a pleasure as we have slowly watched you become our national treasure.
Now it's time to say goodbye, but in spirit, I know you will always be nearby.
With tearful eyes
We watched you suffer,
we saw you fade away,
although we loved you dearly
We could not make you stay.
So this poem is our final gift for you ... Rugby League fans will never forget you.
