i know lots will be viewing this after the sad news on sunday but there was another side of robs game thats worth mentioning he was fearless...in this video there was enough high shots on him that didnt deter him but i remember with joy him being kept at arms lenght by the biggest prop they had as he attempted to fight back after a cheap shot with keith senior laughing like hell at the 10 inch and 6 stone difference between the 2 or the perfect hit on jamie thackery that dumped the 17 stone prop on his arse...there are many other occasions which made him a joy to watch
I am an old man who lives in Leeds. I saw Rob play many times and on almost every time, I came away from the match in total awe at the skill and bravery of this young man, Thank You Rob! My condolences go to his family.
I’m not a big rugby league fan but I’ve watched Rob on more than a few occasions and the only description I could make of him is a magician!! Hope the big man up in the clouds has a special place for him as he was taken from us far to soon 🙏🏻
RIP Rob Burrow - what a great person! - And on the field, lightning fast, brave, great hands, great movement, and soo hard to tackle - they said he was too small to play, but he used it to his advantage!
Although I love rugby union I've not really followed league. Rob has really raised awareness of his sport too. What a fantastic player he was, his speed and skills made him a giant, and of course how he bravely fought MND until the end. Rest in Peace Rob.
I'm here because of the terrible sad news. On behalf of the Rugby League supporters in Australia, we are so sorry to lose such a wonderful man and player. Best wishes to Rob's family and close friends. We can feel your pain.
What an exceptionally talented athlete he was. I’ve only heard of Rob recently as I don’t follow rugby but I’m sorry I didn’t know of him sooner. He’s got to be one of the best rugby players ever surely? Look at the speed and athleticism. I am so sad to hear of his passing 😢
Only heard about Rob after word come out about his passing (I'm an American with an interes tin the NRL), but holy s:#( what I'd have given to see this cat live. Truly Box office stuff. And then, of course, to deal with ALS in the matter he did sets him in a category of champion I can only dream to be within half a mile of. Vale, Sir, Vale.
