Jai Arrow's Struggle Captivates Global Sports Attention

How Jai Arrow’s story has captured the attention of The New York Times

Jai Arrow's struggle with motor neurone disease and the supportive response from the rugby league community have caught the attention of a major US news outlet.

Representatives from The Athletic, a well-regarded sports website under The New York Times umbrella, reached out to South Sydney officials this week regarding a potential feature on Arrow.

Arrow, 31, is set to mark his 100th match for South Sydney on Friday night, facing off against fierce rivals the Sydney Roosters at a sold-out Allianz Stadium.

Emotions ran high when Arrow entered the field for his 99th game with the Rabbitohs last Saturday against the Titans, leading to tears before he was substituted right before kickoff.
