Rest in peace Rob.

I never met him properly, but once ran into him in a quiet tea room in York with my Mum. He seemed such a normal and grounded guy.

I remember seeing his debut against Hull and thinking he'd never make it because of his size. What did I know! He was great at proving the doubters wrong, even later in his career when he make it impossible for Brian Mac to leave him out of the side because of his electric game-changing running, epitomised by the GF try against Saints.

Such a sad day - there but for the grace go us all.

A truly great player who will be fondly remembered by us all.

Should the club be looking at naming a stand after him?
Such as the Robbie Burrow South Stand which I think would be fitting for such a great man.

A sad day for everyone. A brave guy on and off the field, my deepest condolences to his wonderful wife, kids and family. I can remember watching him in the Leeds acadamy years ago, everybody could see what a player he was going to be even in those days. RIP Rob you will be sadly missed

Hull FC fan here. Just wanted to share what I have just posted over on our board:

Such devastating news when it broke last night and one that has been on my mind ever since. Such a great player and one that commanded respect on the field from both his teammates and his opponents, rightfully adored by Leeds supporters and admired by fans from all other clubs. Not many players can do that. But to then go through what he did afterwards and to face it with the attitude and bravery that he did and help bring such a cruel disease to the public conscious... he was a class player but an even classier person.

RIP to him. My thoughts have been with his family and friends and everyone that is mourning his loss.
