“He was in the carpark at CommBank Stadium for 20 minutes with his ankle in the boot signing autographs.”
Big Sports Breakfast co-host Ray Thomas interjected: “I can vouch for that, we saw him.
“He was hobbling across towards his car and he got absolutely mobbed, and he stayed there and took every photo, signed every autograph … it was just great stuff.
“People were getting out of their cars to come and introduce themselves, it was tremendous.
“I thought, ‘Good on him’.”
Rothfield continued: “I saw him down at Cronulla mall.
“What was he doing at the mall? Signing autographs, taking selfies.
“Great ambassador for rugby league.”
