| Quote ="48756c6c20 524c4643"In all honesty I hope ZERO goes directly to Rob Burrow, he's been a well paid individual for a long time, many tens of thousands of those suffering from various ailments who aren't high profile sportspersons or earning very good salaries are not getting any additional funds for them to cope with life post diagnosis from the general public.I don't agree with benefit matches for players in these circumstances, any monies should be giv en to charities for that cause and they be equitably distributed on the basis of need. Why should one individual get more/large sums on the basis of them being high profile?
It's nothing personal against RB, I had my own career devastated by chronic illness, never asked for a penny more than what everyone else has being given in terms of help, in fact I refused money I could have had. I just want equitable treatment for all those that are having to deal with what they are going through because of a bad roll of the dice.'"
Disgusting comment about Rob Burrow, you should be ashamed.

| Highly commendable are Sinfield's efforts to help out a team mate and MNDA, he should be applauded.

Explain why, what are you offended by, that I wish fort monies donated to be equally distributed to people suffering and not one person whom has already had vastly more support than thousands of others?
Get a grip!

| Quote ="Wilde 3"Although I am sorry for what you have had to go through, I don't think that this message should have been posted. If you've seen any of the interviews since Rob was diagnosed, he has been the most humble of guys, trying to divert attention from him to the need for more research. I would go deeper and say that people are not really doing this for Rob, but for his wonderful kids and wife, who very soon won't have their Father with them.'"
This is nothing to do with Rob Burrow, this is about the funds of the charity and how due to being high profile some individuals are treated differently, all I've said is that monies should always be distributed equitably in basis of need and that I disagree with benefit matches, where the monies often go directly to the player, because they have suffered. Why should one person receive mire support than others? I've not for a second suggested Rob Burrow has but this is the reality of what happens, I've said that ANY monies should always be distributed evenly, why is that so offensive?

read it again, come back and apologise for your aggressive comment, this is nothing to do with RB on a personal level, if you can't grasp that get someone to explain it to you, it's about making sure monies are given to those that need it in a more equitable way!

I'm not the only one offended by your comments. I get what you're saying, but like I said "Did you really need to let us know your thoughts" it was a little insensitive to say the least, do you not think ?

There will be more money going to MND than before this happened surly that is a good thing.

You have no idea what RB has had in his career or through donations.
Donations to MND should be distributed as they see the need. Donations to Rob Burrow should go to Rob Burrow.
You are free to want something different but posting it on this thread would seem highly inappropriate. Don't keep going with it.
Accept you offended some people and leave it alone.

| I always disliked the use of Sir Kev by the Leeds fans, yet now it's very apt.
My respect for him has gone through the roof, what a man!

I'm with you on this Wildthing.
Although recognising that he was a great captain for Leeds, I never really liked Sinfield but he is showing some real class with this (and other) stuff.
The funds raised are superb but, over time the publicity for the charity will be more significant .
It's heartbreaking to see how quickly Burrow has struggled but his captain has certainly come through for him

| I think that the key here is the immense good that; the game, Leeds Rhinos, Kevin Sinfield and Rob Burrow have done for the cause of MND. They have massively raised awareness, which is much more important that the sum of money Raised. All credit to everyone involved, it makes me proud of our great game.
It is, however, disappointing that someone uses these tremendous efforts and selflessness to try to promote a different agenda when, on this occasion, they may well have been better served to have kept their keyboard silent.

He clearly has had more support, I don't begrudge him that at all, I merely stated I hoped that the money being raised was being distributed equitably, those whom don't have a high profile, haven't had a career with well above average salary. Whilst that's not RB fault for earning more or being high profile, it does mean he is in a better position than most with MN, hence why I said I would want monies to be distributed on the basis of need. People here are deliberately turning something I said regards wanting people to have a fair shake regards getting help into an attack against RB, this could not be further from the truth.
i don't understand why people don't agree and would want anything different regards support from a charity!

| I think it’s simply embarrassing that on a thread created to praise the fundraising done for a true fighter, people still try and make it all about them and start arguments. Grow up.
Massive congratulations to Kevin on this massive achievement, everyone needs a friend like Kev. I’m sure Rob will be proud.
