Re: Oliver Holmes.
Amazing effort from Kevin Sinfield and to see him embracing Rob Burrow and the joy on Rob’s face was such an emotional moment. Also the effort of Ollie Holmes should be applauded. What is it about Rugby League players (and fans) that differences can be put aside when tragedies occur? Rugby League can be proud of itself as a truly family sport, and I’m all for Kev in particular to receive a knighthood in the New Year s Honours List.

Re: Oliver Holmes.
Whilst I never really rated Sinfield as a player, you simply cannot knock his efforts for the fund raising for both RB and MND.
It has also provide good, positive coverage of the RL community and what we stand for but I do have a little frustration at the lack of coverage for Oli Holmes' efforts.
Well done everyone concerned.

Re: Oliver Holmes.
It seems Oggys effort was a more local one and seems to be more likely Cas fans who donated whereas KS effort was more national and got national coverage which isn't a bad thing. Good effort from both though and of course for a brilliant cause.
Re: Oliver Holmes.
The money that's been raised will lead to more trials to find a cure for MND the awareness that's been raised by Doddie Wier and Rob and now people like Kev and Oli raising the funds as been one of the good story's in a dreadful year

Oggy - The Forgotten Fundraiser, the forgotten hero.
I've chipped in with both fund raising efforts now.

If Oggy was starting his stint next monday he would get more coverage, the onus this time was (rightly i suppose) on Robs mate and skipper.
Great work by all fundrasers though

Re: Oliver Holmes.
Believe it or not, to some degree I agree with that but my point is, why wasn't there room for both stories in the media or is one more worthy than the other? I actually feel Oggy's efforts are more the remarkable because he ISN'T the best friend and former team mate.barking wrote: ↑09 Dec 2020, 13:24Not forgotten , mistimed a little maybeFlat Capper wrote: ↑09 Dec 2020, 12:52 Oggy - The Forgotten Fundraiser, the forgotten hero.

The recognition Sinfield has received is very much deserved but I hope the interest isn't because it's one friend devoting time and effort for another. For me, it's one human being helping another.

Re: Oliver Holmes.
The media grabbed onto the fact they were team mates and off field pals thats all, i dont think they thought one was more important than the other. All fundraisers, not just these two are doing a great jobFlat Capper wrote: ↑09 Dec 2020, 14:39Believe it or not, to some degree I agree with that but my point is, why wasn't there room for both stories in the media or is one more worthy than the other?

Re: Oliver Holmes.
They are and ALL deserve recognition.
As I've stated, it's a fantastic effort from all those that have made the effort to raise both funds and awareness. It is one of the few good news stories of the year, even if it is based on the sad impact of MND.
