I'd just like to express my thanks to all connected with the Eagles who attended or sent cards to my mum's funeral today. It's been a pretty difficult 3 and a half months for me and knowing there are so many wellwishers among the Eagles fans means a lot to me. The card signed by the squad was a particularly nice touch. Once again rugby league shows it's such a great family sport. Again many thanks, Martin.
it's things like that which brings it all down to earth - RL is still a game played within a family atmosphere at even the highest levels.Long may it continue.Condown here.dolencies from
my good lady has been fighting cancer for six years now and after losing most of her insides and constant chemo she is still with us - RL is a great tonic to her - the day before xmas day (the friday) following heavy chemo on the wednesday & thursday she received a card signed by the Catalan players with many of them ie the coach,Clint,Menzies etc writing additional notes of support - she was in tears cos' it meant so much to her.
can't imagine it happening in many other high profile sports ?
