The rugby family keeps proving why it’s the best sporting community on the planet! 🌍 Thanks to the absolute legend that is Jeni (Beanie), my work colleague who has been relentlessly reaching out to clubs, we now have an incredible video of support from Huddersfield Giants! 💪

And they didn’t stop there…

Not only did they send a video from the players, but a few days later, Jeni rocks up at our house with a SIGNED GIANTS RUGBY BALL FOR SAMMY! 🎉🏉

Now, let me tell you—Sammy’s face was priceless.

Actually, so was mine… (not that it’s about me! 🤣). The video came through while my best mate Ross was round checking in on us. He witnessed my full geek-out moment when I saw Tom Burgess’ name in the lineup. (He’s still laughing about it.)

But back to Slammin’ Sam B!

When he saw the video, he was absolutely buzzing—a little overwhelmed at first, but honestly, these messages make such a huge impact. Then, days later, he gets handed a signed ball from the Giants squad. Mind-blown. 🤯

Sammy even recorded a thank-you video which I’ll post at the end—because the lads deserve it!

The Power of Rugby League!

That now takes the Rugby League vs Rugby Union tally to:
🏉 League: 11
🏉 Union: 3

Not that it’s a competition… 😉 (but if any Union players want to level the score, you know what to do! 👀)

If you know any rugby players—League, Union, Women’s Leagues—get them involved! This is Rugby vs Cancer, and these videos make a difference to kids fighting battles like Sammy.

So, let’s give a huge shoutout to the Huddersfield Giants heroes who sent their support! 👏💜


Meet the Huddersfield Giants Legends Who Stepped Up for Sammy!

🛡️ Sam Hewitt (Second Row / Loose Forward)

A homegrown Giant through and through, Sam Hewitt is the kind of player who just gets stuck in. No nonsense, solid defence, and loves a big hit. The guy is basically a human wrecking ball in the back row. 🏉💥


⚡ Ashton Golding (Fullback / Wing / Hooker)

This guy is everywhere. Seriously. Fullback? Check. Hooker? Sure, why not. Wing? Yeah, let’s go. Ashton Golding has played almost every position except prop (give it time). One of the fastest and hardest-working lads in the game! 🚀🏉


🛠️ Matty English (Prop / Absolute Tank)

If there’s one bloke you don’t want running straight at you, it’s Matty English. 💪 This guy plays like he’s made of steel and lives for the contact. You need a big hit? He’s got you. You need someone to steamroll through the line? He’s your man. 🏉🔥


👑 George King (Prop / Wrecking Machine)

An Ireland international and an absolute unit in the middle. George King brings raw power and leadership to every game. If Rugby League had knights, this guy would already have been knighted for services to crushing defenders. ⚔️🏉


💥 Fenton Rogers (Forward / Future Giant Superstar)

One of the young guns coming through, Fenton Rogers is a proper next-gen powerhouse. If you’re not hearing his name now, you will be soon. He’s built like a freight train and already making a name for himself. 🚂💪


🎯 Kieran Rush (Hhooker / Sharpshooter)

If you give Kieran Rush a kicking tee, just start adding points to the scoreboard. Precision kicks, smart playmaking, and a cool head under pressure. Exactly what you want from your halfback general. 🏉🎯


🏉 Tom Burgess (Prop / Rugby Royalty!)

If the surname didn’t already tell you, Tom Burgess is rugby league royalty. A South Sydney Rabbitohs legend, a Super League powerhouse, and now part of Team Slammin’ Sam B!

Having a Burgess Brother in the lineup? Yeah… that’s legendary status right there. 🏆🔥


A HUGE Thank You to Huddersfield Giants & Jeni!

Seriously, this was next-level support from the Giants. You can see the effort the lads put into the video, and it’s genuinely humbling to see them step up for Sammy.

And to Jeni (Beanie)—you are an absolute superstar! 🌟
Your hard work, persistence, and determination made this happen, and we are forever grateful. 💜
