I’ve never seen or experienced anything remotely like yesterday one of the most emotional days that I can ever remember & to see this brave soul get on for a run around was unbelievable the Bradford players & fans were unreal

Rob Burrow was treated to a standing ovation by a sold-out Headingley as he ran onto the field for the final time as a player.
The Rhinos legend could not hold back the tears as he was welcomed by former team-mates from Leeds' golden era:
He's done it!! 🎉 👏
What a moment, what a man! Kevin Sinfield finishes his MAMMOTH 101 mile run in 24 hours live on
#BBCBreakfast
🏃♂️
And his best mate Rob Burrow saw him over the line
Two of the absolute best receiving their awards proud of them of them both….am I being greedy though I wish there was another award for our Super Woman Lindsey!!
What a moment.
@Rob7Burrow
and his family are truly incredible and I don’t think it’s possible for me to love Sir Kevin Sinfield anymore than I currently do
Back on the bike today 7 in 7 🏃 sounds almost impossible not to this fella our Captain & everyone’s hero we’re all so very proud of him
Keep telling this story! Raising £777,777 isn’t the end keep supporting Rob & MNDA ❤️

I know this it’s pointless complaining after the event but
@Irelandrl
have been a good team playing great rugby! In this World Cup they have won 2/3 games it doesn’t seem right a team that hasn’t won a single game gets into the quarters 🤔🏉☘️
I like to think I have a balanced view of RL literally experienced 1000’s & 1000’s of games at all levels in 40 yrs of course I played in a different era a brutal era I understand the game has to evolve but it’s getting ridiculous now some of the suspensions are just pathetic…

@SuperLeague
Grand Final in 2012 after suffering a ruptured testicle in the first minute of the second half. Astonishingly, Wood played on with the injury & made number of tackles. 🤷🏽♂️🏉
It was an absolute pleasure to represent this fantastic club as a player, an honour to be part of the new South Stand reopening with so many iconic players on Boxing Day & to leave my little mark is beyond words 🙏🏽
There’s a lot of love for the little fella today if you want to do something support JP for this one Jamie Peacock will run 35-mile ultra-marathon in the Alps to raise £10,000 for Rob Burrow's fund
Farewell to our Angela such an emotional night last night for you, you spoke so well before your last hurrah we will miss you enjoy working with the young people although you’ve had a bit of practice working with BIG kids
I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again the beautiful brutality of our game it’s what sets it apart from other sports please don’t let ‘them’ sanitise it I can’t be the only one that loves this stuff....
Take a bow James Graham 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
The debate with those who have and haven’t carted the pigskin up will rage on but he absolutely nails it here you will never make our sport 💯 safe
Have to say I’ve noticed a few teams & individuals “playing for penalties” in the last week or two.... come on play the game properly boys Rugby League is for warriors not actors!
Take a moment to appreciate the effort and commitment

@OfficialBullsRL
last game at Odsal today its a travesty with the history that place has got. We’ve got to get out & support our game, teams that represent us & the players that wear our colours good luck to JK and the boys send her out in style today 🏉🐮
Saddened to hear the passing of Hugh Waddell I watched Hughey from the terraces as an Oldham RLFC fan and when I was older I was lucky enough to play against him, a kind hearted lovely man who was a gentleman off the pitch a fierce competitor on it
