Rhinos to raise funds to support Jai Arrow at MND Awareness game

The whole Rugby League family was rocked recently with the news that South Sydney Rabbitohs forward Jai Arrow had been diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease. 

In May, Arrow, aged just 30, announced his immediate retirement from the NRL on medical grounds following his diagnosis. He played 178 NRL games since making his first grade debut in 2016, as well as playing 12 State of Origin matches for Queensland.

Arrow is one of the toughest players in the game and is one of the most loved and respected players at both the Rabbitohs and across the NRL.

The Leeds Rhinos family knows all to well the pain that those closest to Jai will be feeling at this time. This Friday is the club's Annual MND Awareness Round, inspired by the late Rob Burrow. The team will wear a special one off kit which will raise awareness and funds to support the work of the Rob Burrow Centre for MND in Leeds. 

However to show our support for Jai, the club have produced a one off shirt which features Jai's heritage numbers for his teams along with Arrow and the number 13 on the back. The shirt has been signed by the entire Rhinos squad and is being auctioned off to the highest bidder with all proceeds going to the fund to support Jai and his family.  

The shirt will be sold after the game in the Howard Suite but supporters can place their bids with the highest offer received by half time in the game, setting the reserve for the final sale. If that figure is not passed, the email offer will be the winning bid.
