NRL Makes a Special Rule Change to Help Jai Arrow Reach 100 Rabbitohs Games
The NRL allowed Souths seven bench players and nine interchanges so Arrow can reach 100 club games.
- The NRL has granted South Sydney Rabbitohs special permission for Jai Arrow to play two final games, allowing the 31-year-old to reach his 100th match milestone for the club despite his motor neurone disease diagnosis.
- Arrow retired earlier this year following his motor neurone disease diagnosis, prompting the Rabbitohs to propose an on-field farewell that the NRL and Rugby League Players Association subsequently approved.
- Souths will name an extra player and interchange for Rounds 26 and 27, enabling Arrow to start against the Gold Coast Titans and Sydney Roosters before being substituted in the opening seconds.
- Rabbitohs CEO Blake Solly expressed gratitude to NRL boss Peter V'landys and Clint Newton of the Rugby League Players Association, while fundraising for Arrow has already surpassed $1 million.
- Throughout his health battle, the rugby league community has rallied behind Arrow with special celebrations in July, and this final appearance provides a meaningful opportunity to honor his contributions to the sport.
