South Sydney Rabbitohs player Jai Arrow and former Wallabies hooker Nathan Charles were honored with an emotional lap around Sydney's Accor Stadium ahead of the NRL Grand Final. Singer Amy Shark performed 'You'll Never Walk Alone' as both athletes, who are battling motor neurone disease (MND), were driven around the field in front of an applauding crowd.
