And he's been in coots with the NRL about getting this roundup as well, but...
like we don't have to copy what the afl did but we can do something different something that's league you know what what can we do that's for for league you know and fun and uh something that everyone can get behind so it doesn't have to be a big freeze we're not in melbourne yeah it could be something else it could be a surfing thing like it could be anything like but it's definitely something there that we can do
And even to build on the great work that Neil Daniel has done, he's raised over $100 million in the last 13 years.
And same thing with Robbie Burrows and Kevin Sinfield.
These are my heroes growing up.
Kevin Sinfield, Rob Burrows, I played with them for England and they've raised millions and millions of pounds.
Did you play with Rob?
yeah so my england debut we were on the bench together and i grew up watching him play in the stands yeah as a kid so my england debut we sat on the bench together it was such a surreal moment and then to find out he had neurone disease was stabbing the heart and then it feels like you know carl webb you know we've gotten like all these people close to us it feels like it's personal now and i'm up for the fight
and uh yeah i mean going through what we went through with our dad was was so hard and we thought by now 18 years later we might have had some more progression i mean don't get me wrong there is we are getting closer and closer to finding what causes it but um finding a cure is the next thing
And, yeah, like I said, Jai is going to be the catalyst and we're all going to be there pushing him forward and being right behind him on his battle.
I can't promise too much, but what I can promise you is that when I step in the ring, I'll be well-trained.
I'll be well-prepared.
I don't know what's going to happen.
Nelson doesn't know what's going to happen.
But that's scary for him as well.
And yeah, he's going to get some punishment in there.
I'm there to cause him some serious harm.
