I'd only just seen him speak, and to see his speech take a hit like that already is just so sad.

Really sucks. Life is hard man.

 

[Flippedy]

Terrible news, poor bugger.

 

[Adam Doobie]

Gut wrenching.

Very hard to watch. It's progressed so quickly. Hearing him speak like that, I feel like it wasn't that long ago everything seemed normal.

Wayne Bennett seemed rattled in the presser. He did disarm the situation with some humour though. It shows why he is the GOAT when it comes to coaching - genuine love, care and ability to communicate with people.

I remember literally none of those things. But carry on.

happened during covid he brought a "dancer" in to origin camp

MND is a bad disease good luck to him wish him well

can only wish jai all the very best in his fight with such a dreadful disease.

Mark Geyer said he spoke to him a few months ago and he was in much better condition. He must really be deteriorating.

I thought he didn't want to speak because of emotions - not because he can't..
That's nuts how far he's into it.

Danica was a bit of a mess talking about it on her poddy with Freddy and Joey yesterday.
I think Liam Knight lived with him for a bit, So I reckon they'd be good mates.

MND got two of my cousins from the same family about 20 years ago, boy cousin, big strapping fellow, 6 months from diagnosis to end, girl cousin , the journey was about one year, terrible disease

 

[Yossarian]

Terrible news. What an awful disease MND is. I remember reading an article he was close to joining us when Madge was coach. 30 years old, prime of his life and this. Life can be pretty shitty at times.

 

[Telltails]

Just saw the interview with Danica - I was shocked at the progression. Can only imagine how scary it must have been when the symptoms started to take hold.
Strangely just didn't want a bar of watching footy tonight.
