The National Rugby League has updated its rules to grant Jai Arrow special dispensation. The rule update follows his forced retirement from rugby league because of motor neurone disease. This official action allows Arrow to reach 100 games for the South Sydney Rabbitohs. Deeply moved Rabbitohs players heard about the update. He can now reach a milestone.
Elsewhere, a man given a diagnosis of MND 29 years ago continues to be ill but alive. In a further case, a UK patient aged 36 was informed he has 10 years to live upon his diagnosis.
