Hope Jai has a long and happy life away from footy. Shitty disease that he's got. I also suggest that he doesn't get into dog training or breeding now he's retired.

Whichever it is, its just devastating:

I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. Once a Bronco Always a Bronco.

 

[mrslong]

My worst nightmare. Really traumatic diagnosis. I hope he has the "good" one.

 

[Sproj]

So sad. I wish he was a career Bronco but sadly he isn't. Regardless, hope he has a great rest of life, whatever happens. Feel so sad for his wife and kid too.

 

[Kaz]

My thoughts are with him, his family & friends.

I may sound cruel, but I hope it takes him quickly.

MND took my dad in 2017.

 

[Skathen]

Horrible disease. That's two former broncos / qld'ers who've gone down to it in the last 6 years. Webb only lasted a few years. I really hope Jai gets some meaningful time before the end.

Very sad.

 

[FACTHUNT]

Just saw him speaking with Danika Mason on the news. It's getting him rapidly - this is just horrific for a man in his prime.

Thinking of him.

 

[Krampus]

I heard about this before.
Poor bugger.
He has got worse.
Love to him and his family.
