Re: Oliver Holmes.
Kev Sinfield has only gone and hit the £1,000.000 mark. £922,223 more than his original target of £77,777.
Re: Oliver Holmes.
Great effort. Maybe he will become the real Sir Kev???

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

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
