South Sydney Rabbitohs forward Jai Arrow made an emotional return to the NRL field Saturday, appearing in his 99th game for the club just three months after being diagnosed with motor neurone disease.

Rabbitohs granted NRL dispensation for Arrow's appearance, allowing him to join the 100-game club next week against the Roosters. The forward announced his retirement immediately after his MND diagnosis earlier this year, leaving him on 98 appearances for the club. djcc.club

Arrow's brief but heart-warming return has brought emotional scenes to South Sydney as he prepares to reach his milestone despite his health challenges.
