If he will be attending the Easter game you would think South's will get up for him and have a good game.

I feel for him as I know first hand how this bludger of a disease takes you down , being terminal just ads to the pain , stress , and mind set , I ope he stays strong as it’s the only way to get by each day , Each day you look at your wife , kids , friends and think wow not long now and I can’t help them any more that is the biggest one in my opinion , but you do what you can in the now , fight on , he will fight as long as he can ,

The sad/scary thing is that it’s coming for all of us at some point. Even if it’s old age. It’s what will do most of us in eventually. In your 40’s though, way too young. Couldn’t imagine being given news like this. I feel like I’d be torn between two options. Not accept it and find as many avenues I can to overcome it and prove the doctors wrong. Or be at peace with it and live life till I drop. Travel, eat like a king, shoot my shot with women out of my league, the whole enchilada. You hope for a miracle with him. If not, hopefully he fits 20-30 years of life into the next 12 months.

I think the older you get the less scarier death becomes you just want the suffering to end.
Passing away in your 40s is too young though 🙁
Look at his eyes in the photo above, death is staring him in the face. You're stronger then cancer buddy. I hope Souths win this round for you.

Really awful situation for Nathan and his loved ones.
I’m not sure I’d bother with the chemo…rather just live as long as this bastard will let him.
I really hope he enjoys his day tomorrow. It’ll be a somber occasion for those watching but I hope they let him know that he matters.
That’ll be a terrific memory for his family.

As much as I hate Souffs I suspect they are a better than an even chance of winning the game for him, which no doubt will mean a lot to him.
Lucky he is not an ex Wests Tigers player, with our past record of standing up and getting the job done in landmark / tribute type situations I would not be as confident.
I would like to think that we have now turned the corner and that sort of thing is in the past and doesn't rear it's ugly head and come to haunt us again anytime soon.

My brother coached him in his junior days for Matraville tigers . He was
always a stand out player and a try scoring machine. Bloody terrible.😔

I agree with all those positive and heartfelt tributes that have been posted for a very good but in some cases underrated player. I hope for the best for him in his continuing fight against this disease.
