The couple released a brief but heartfelt statement earlier today, expressing gratitude to fans, teammates, and the wider rugby league fraternity for their outpouring of encouragement. “We are incredibly thankful for the love and support we’ve received over the past few days,” the statement read. “Your kindness means more to us than words can convey. At this time, we ask for privacy as we navigate these personal circumstances.”

Social media responses from NRL players, fans, and former teammates have been overwhelmingly positive, with many sending messages of solidarity and encouragement.
Jarome Luai, a key figure in the Panthers’ success during his tenure, has long been admired not just for his on-field skill but also for his leadership and community involvement.
