Sorry to hear the news. Add my best wishes which I'm sure goes for everyone on the forum. Hope the Bulls can win, for her.

this.

can you imagine the lift it would give ms cookie jnr if she knew the players were thinking of her whilst putting in the same effort!

cookie, see PM.

I am glad to hear the surgery went well. I am so sorry you are living every parent's worst nightmare. I shall be thinking of you all.

Double Ditto everything said before. All the best mate

Thanks for all your thoughts and good wishes.

Thanks to Bullboy for the Sky Go tip. Got it sorted for Sat's match so she won't miss it.

Big thanks go to Duckman as well

Regardless of what's happening on the Field, I will always love this team, the organisation and its fans



Out of the blue, I got a phone call from Stuart Duffy (yes, the real one) asking how Nicole was. Stuart immediately organised for the players to sign a shirt for her and said that if there is anything they can do to help, they would! We took the shirt to Nic and although she can barely move, her mouth dropped into a massive "0" and her hand flew up to her mouth in a sort of "I can't believe this" way and she said "thank you".

I found out later that Duckman had tipped Stuart off

. So a big







to him. I know he will say he hasn't done much but what he started has pleased a lifelong Bulls fan so much at a very difficult time. Likewise, Stuart had no problem sorting the shirt (and some other things) out for Nic - not sure there are many organisations that would do this!

I'm definately feeling the love

Sounds like you've got a brave brave little girl to be proud of there Cookie, I wish her a speedy recovery.

I've got two young daughters and one of them having anything more than a cold sends me into a mild panic. Simply cannot contemplate what's going on in your life. Stay strong for her if nothing else.

Glad the club have made a gesture. Might not seem too much in the grand scheme of things but shows they really do care and sure the nipper feels important and loved which can only help.

And, if anyone from the club does read this, if Little Miss Cookie is in hospital for a while can you ensure one or two players make an organised visit. You know it makes sense.

Came on just to check out Bulls thoughts on this game with a hope you will win albeit for selfish reasons but after seeing this thread I really hope the players put in the extra affort to gain a win for Little Miss Cookie. As a parent I know this must be very trying. All the best for a full recovery.

Shoutout on SkySports!!!!

Yep, by the sounds of it the club had a word with Sky and got the shout out.

Well done club!

Hope she enjoyed the game, and all best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Well done the Bulls for doing their bit too.

You should have seen her reaction to hearing Eddie's kind words. I got a massive smile and 2 thumbs up from her. Quite an achievement given she cannot move much at the mo.

So, big thanks to the Sky team and to Stuart for arranging this.

Am pleased this lifted her spirits. How old is she??

Like you say, it wasn't much to help out out a fellow Rl and Bulls fan, I know that the club are good with this sort of thing, Stuart and the club just needed to know and they did the rest.
I'm just happy it seems to have given her a lift, tell her from me my wife and my two young girls we hope she gets better soon and back to Odsal quick



All the best mate.

She's 9

I have a nine year old daughter. Cant imagine what you are going through

Best wishes to all

I travel from Leeds for our home games and usually see a young lass, could be about 9 on the same buses as myself going to watch the Bulls with her mum. Strangely they wernt to be seen on Saturday, perhaps they got an earlier bus, but I hope it wasnt her. All the best with her recovery all the same though.

Just a little update for you on Little Miss Cookie.

She got a surprise visit today from some people you might know





I'm not sure who was more surprised - Nic when they arrived or the lads when she called each of them by name!

Big thanks to Keith, Elliott and John for doing this.

Great gesture from the club and those three lads. Bet she was delighted.

That is the most uplifting picture I have seen posted on here for a long, long time. Bet she was chuffed to bits - did not expect her to be looking so much progressed yet, and therefore wonderful to see.

Well done, again, to the club. Makes some of the hard times easier to bear when you see things like that. And well done to the players for giving the time - and probably an ideal choice of players too for the circumstances.

Aw!! All round, really lovely to see!

This has brought a massive smile to my face!!!

All the best during Little Miss Cookies recovery and well done on the boys for making her day

Would I be correct in thinking the youngster has some affiliation to the Cook Islands?

Great choice sending a Cook Island international.
