That this House congratulates rugby league fans throughout the UK and beyond for their support of Rob Burrow after his recent diagnosis with Motor Neurone Disease; recognises the support of playing colleague Jamie Jones-Buchanan for his incredible gesture in sharing his testimonial game with Rob and family; recognises the role of Leeds Rhinos and Bradford Bulls in creating a superb occasion fit for the event; applauds Sky Sports, particularly former executive Neville Smith for broadcasting the game without production fee; salutes the fans who attended the game and selling out the Emerald Headingley Stadium and creating an amazing atmosphere; and wishes Rob, wife Lindsey and their children Macy, Maya and Jackson all the very best during this difficult time.
