Story summary

On Sunday, October 4, at the NRL Grand Final between the Roosters and Knights, Australian singer Amy Shark led a musical tribute to honor retired rugby league star Jai Arrow and former Wallaby Nathan Charles, both diagnosed with motor neuron disease this year. Thousands of fans held up their hands in an arrow sign resembling Jai's surname during the emotional ceremony. The performers included Dave Gleeson and Phil Jamieson alongside Amy Shark, who played music as Arrow and Charles made a lap around the field. This tribute highlighted the impact of MND on athletes and brought awareness to their struggles.
