The NRL will throw the ‘world’s biggest birthday party’ for Jai Arrow as the league starts making good on its promise to back the Souths star to the hilt as he battles motor neurone disease.
Arrow, 30, revealed his diagnosis on May 20 and is currently receiving treatment at a health centre in Spain.

‘We will throw the biggest birthday party in the world,’ NRL supremo Peter V’landys said on Wednesday.
‘It will be a huge occasion with the whole game involved.
