In the same week Jai Arrow brings up 100 games for Souths, the change he fought for becomes law. Brien (NRL Physio) is joined by NSW Health Minister Ryan Park to unpack NSW becoming the first place in the world to make Motor Neurone Disease notifiable: what it means, what data gets collected, whether it can help find a cause, and what it's been like working with Jai.
Plus a quick MND explainer and some Dragons therapy for the Minister.
