The National Rugby League has updated its rules to provide Jai Arrow special dispensation. The rule update follows his forced retirement from rugby league owing to motor neurone disease. This measure enables Arrow to reach 100 games for the South Sydney Rabbitohs. Emotional Rabbitohs players learned of the update. He can now reach a century.
Elsewhere, a man given a diagnosis of MND 29 years ago remains ill but alive. In a different report, a UK patient aged 36 learned he has 10 years to live after his diagnosis.
