Newman reveals how about younger brother inspires him

Ahead of this Saturday's live game on BBC Two, Leeds Rhinos star Harry Newman spoke to BBC Sport about how his younger brother Ed inspires him every day after a near tragedy when the pair were growing up. 

The Rhinos face Castleford Tigers this Saturday evening, kick off 5.30pm, at AMT Headingley and Newman spoke to the BBC's Matt Newsum ahead of the game speaking about the bond with his brother, Newman's own injury struggles and how much this Saturday's game means. 

Ed was just 10 when he had a cardiac arrest, with Harry only a year older and about to start secondary school.

Ed was in a coma for two weeks and in hospital for more than a month. 

His parents were told he had a 5% chance of living and, if he did, would probably be disabled for the rest of his life.

While the family has come through the situation together, there are still lasting impacts.

"It's something I've only just come to terms with and started to talk about," Harry told BBC Sport.

"When I was [around] 14, 15 years old, there was something not sitting right with me. I came to this club around then and I was struggling with things. I had always been great in school but now I was getting into trouble and doing things that weren't really me."

Harry said he "hit a real low in my life" 14 months ago when he was "struggling with being on my own" and admitted that was all "linked to what happened with my brother".
