Warrior, legend and inspiration - respect to the man, his family and his memory. And a thought for Kevin Sinfield - another giant of a human being

yes, words that are thrown around like confetti nowadays but are totally true in this case. even as a player he showed little lads interested in playing that they could also succeed if he did. inspiration from his first league game till his death.

I had a conversation with my mate the other night, I asked him if he had a disease like Alzheimer's disease, Motor neurone disease etc what would you do, no hesitation he said he would end it all. Is assisted dying the answer, I wouldn’t want to be a burden on my family or the government making me sell my house and use my savings living in a Care Home.
