But that was a great time and a great opportunity to work with yourself and some absolute legends of the game at that point, wasn't it?
it's heartbreaking so much silver as i said you know my professorship's physiology so at the moment um i do actually have a phd student working on motor neuron disease to try and understand it a little bit better um we've got some grants under review to look at is there anything specific to exercise that is increasing our chances but yeah it's probably the most
crew of all these diseases.
And obviously it was Paul, but then I was, you know, I worked with Kevin Sinfield at England for a while and the amazing work that Kevin's doing in the MND space on the back of Rob Burrows and Doddy Weir, et cetera.
So it's certainly something we need to get on top of.
Yeah, he's one of the most incredible people I've ever worked with.
And if he hadn't been taken away from us so cruelly, he would have gone beyond the game, to the top of the game and beyond.

He's now got his Super League debut a few weeks ago.
nonsense i do remember it and i remember wondering how did you ever get out of the house um we'll wait i know what of preparation time to get them right and then probably about another 30 minutes so yeah let me get them all down here and i remember thinking the best thing to do now is just take them well not all the majority away let's really simplify it
and let the main thing be the main thing.
And we focused on diet for a while.
And then gradually one or two maybe got introduced back in, but I thought we needed a real clean, like let's just start again from the proper base.
