Sad news today from here in the UK.

12 time Wales international and current Keighley Cougars player Danny Jones has tragically died in hospital after suffering a cardiac arrest 4 minutes into a game today for his club.

The RL community over here are doing their best to pull together for Danny's teammates, wife and 5 month old twins. Such sad news, my condolences.
