Hated him when he played against us but a top player, wishing him all the best in his fight against this terrible disease, Hull fc fan

Hear hear

A few of us going to walk from Headers to Cas when we play them in march. Idea is to walk the canal route and have a few beers on the way. Early doors yet, but really positive and the numbers are getting bigger by the day. The club are already onboard, and hearing that Cas are interested in getting involved. Hopefully can raise a good few quid for Rob and Lindsay.

If you’re stopping in pubs on the way, take plenty of buckets for the cash you’ll raise. Great idea.

The Bulls are donating their share of the friendly to Rob’s fund, fantastic gesture considering their financial issues

Looking forward to it.

Going to have to get in shape though!

I've got Spondylitis, but I think I can meet you all at Rodley I can manage that. I will be reall stiff next day but it wont last

I’m a right mess mate, but going to get through it I hope. Climbing Tryfan last weekend has hopefully put me in good stead

Im auctioning a couple of items on Twitter @Rhinoshaund_VI

1st item - 2005 GF Match Ball signed by Leeds Rhinos a couple of weeks after the final in the Supporters Club where I worked. The ball is from the 1st penalty kicked by Paul Deacon which i caught in the crowd. Honestly, its my most prized RL possession but if it gets a bit of money for Rob and his family I am willing to part with it.

2nd Item - A medium, unworn, 2017 Leeds Rhinos home shirt signed on the front by the 2017 squad. Again, its special to me but like I said, its a worthy cause.

Head on to my Twitter for pics and make me an offer. Ends Boxing day, and Ill be at the game to deliver.

I have 3 items signed by the golden generation. a 2006 shirt. a 2007 shirt and a ball. anyone wants to make a sensible offer for all 3 I'll donate it all to robs fund. I'll deliver it if fairly local

Rob has said he still feels fairly normal. He will be wanting this Christmas to be a really special memorable one with his wife and young children. Hope he has a wonderful Christmas

It is incredibly humbling to see people auctioning off their prized possessions for Rob. Whilst I have nothing of value to offer in this area I can appreciate how difficult this must be. You should all be feel very proud of what you are doing. The support has been phenomenal.

had to do it. it seemed right.
first shirts on Twitter at £90

Its affected every body God knows what Rob and his family are going through

Its a no brainer. Theres a man with a family whos lives have inexplicably changed forever. A man that has given so much joy to my family and thousands of others. Its Christmas, I havent got a lot of money to donate unfortunately, but giving up a few possessions will help raise more money than I could afford to donate anyway. The shirts currently at £130, the ball at £90. Ive got other things im looking to donate to any events anyone knows of and plan to do some of the walks to the games. Lets raise as much money as possible for Rob, his family, Doddie, MND Assoc, the man on the street who needs it etc.

I’ve donated my Paul McShane shirt that was part of my sponsorship when southstander.com used to get to sponsor a player every season, which raised £200 via raffle

I’ve also been given a family ticket to Disney on ice at first direct arena by a senior member of staff At the arena to raffle off when all numbers coming In it will raise £400.

Got some more items on the way from fans to auction / raffle off in the near future too.

No mean feat that mate, I did it as part of the Welsh 3,000 footers.
I coached Rob when he was just a kid playing for the BARLA junior Yorkshire teams so would like to do the walk myself. A lot of Cas fans are asking for details as they would like to join in.
I also have some memento's of coaching the Yorkshire squads to auction if some one could tell me where to send them. Still feeling gutted.

These gestures are superb - my concern is there so much stuff out there will it impact the fund raising amount?

When we emailed the club asking about doing some fundraising we received an email back saying that they were looking to get some events organised after Christmas as there were many who had emailed in also pledging support.

Im sure when the new year arrives that this will step up a gear from the club and fully expect a range of events for people at all levels to get involved with in some capacity.

Just watching Doddie Weir 1 more try. On bbc last night. Gives a bit of an insight into what road may lay ahead for Rob. Doddie strikes me as inspirational, comparable to Steve Prescott. I'd read that Doddie reached out to Rob last week. He could potentially have a huge influence on Rob going forward.

Bulls fan here, Elliot Minchella’s dad. How heartbreaking is this.
Spoke with Rob a fair bit when Elliot was in the scholarship and academy at Leeds, what a genuinely nice guy.
Attempted to watch his interview a few times but still can’t get to the end of it, so sad.
Really nice to see all the comments and wishes of support from fans of every club, but that was never in doubt.
A fantastic player but more importantly a fantastic person.
Heartbreaking

Just seen Rob, Lindsay and the kids at Stone Brigg Lane lights in Rothwell. I was absolutely desperate to just grab him and give him a hug, but obviously respect his privacy and didn’t want to make a scene when with his family. Rob lived in my mum and dad’s street in Ponty for years before recently moving, so he recognised us and smiled. Just as the news was starting to sink in, I’ve come home a mess again.

Watched it myself mate and as you say it was an excellent programme and very enlightening.
I just wonder when some of the footage was shot though as Doddie seemed to be managing every day things almost normally. But on SPOTY he was drinking from a specially designed drinks holder as he couldn't manage a normal cup or glass.

These are precious golden times for his family and the man himself.
