Anita Bath Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 On Friday evening Fox sports broadcast a brilliant interview with him that was recorded fairly recently. Afraid I cannot do links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stainesrover Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Watched as much as I could about him after his diagnosis, a really nice kid, loved his aboriginal roots. What an awful disease. It's heartbreaking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkpom Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Yvonne Sampson interviewed Carl just a few months ago for a Face to Face - if you have Watch NRL I would really recommend you watch it. He was still able to swallow and speak four years after his diagnosis - just shows how this disease can quickly progress that he didn't even make Christmas this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the interview that Fox showed I think….top class TV with a very brave man talking about his life and career without any trace of malice or regret. On a similar note I watched the DVD of the 2007 world cup today….the best bit for me was seeing Rob Burrows at his best leading England around the field and scoring two tries. We risk forgetting what a top player he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
