What a great thing to raise funds for Alex McKinnon , he is without doubt a courageous and inspirational young man and we can only hope his improvement continues. How disappointing then after all the hype and publicity surrounding this round and the ” rise for Alex” fundraiser that the NRL didn’t see fit to use the Newcastle game that Alex himself attended, as the Sunday night televised game- poor form and bad choice NRL.
