The rugby league community is in mourning as it bids farewell to the legendary Carl Webb, who lost his battle against Motor Neurone Disease at the age of 42.
Webb, known for his toughness on the field, played a total of 187 first-grade games for the Brisbane Broncos, North Queensland Cowboys, and Parramatta Eels.
Hailing from Mount Isa, he made his mark in the rugby league world with his impressive 12 Origin matches for Queensland and one Test for Australia in 2008.
Unfortunately, in 2020, Webb received the devastating diagnosis of motor neurone disease, a condition that gradually weakens the body.
In an interview last year, he described his daily struggles as a constant battle.
Tragically, his fight took a turn for the worse when he fell at his home in Dalby, the place where his rugby league journey began.
Webb's story is a testament to his resilience and the impact he made on the sport.
The rugby league community will remember him as a true warrior both on and off the field.
