Jai Arrow’s 100th Rabbitohs Game, Rune Return, Leclerc Crash & Gill Birthday

Jai Arrow Reaches 100 Games for the Rabbitohs Jai Arrow reached his 100th game for South Sydney in a deeply emotional moment after his motor neurone disease diagnosis.

Coach Wayne Bennett embraced Arrow on the sideline, and Arrow described Bennett as a massive influence in his career. Rabbitohs CEO Blake Solly said the moment should inspire anyone facing hardship, while the club also presented Arrow with a commemorative jersey.
