The Rabbitohs and Broncos united on Thursday night to honour Jai Arrow, as the former player rang the legacy bell in an emotional tribute.
Arrow, who stepped away from the NRL after being diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND), received a heartfelt salute from players on both teams as they formed a guard of honour.
In a show of solidarity, both clubs donned special jerseys to support Arrow and his family, with proceeds from sales directed to them.
South Sydney sported white-out jerseys emblazoned with Arrow's surname, and fans had the opportunity to pre-order the jerseys on their official website.
On the other hand, Brisbane will auction off jerseys worn by players, which feature 'Jai 222' above the team logo. Fans can place bids on these jerseys here.
As the match approached, the spotlight shifted momentarily from Brisbane's struggles on the field to the shared respect and love for Arrow, reminding everyone that the essence of sports transcends competition.
