This week, the NRL Footy Show paid tribute to Johnny Mannah with a beautiful, moving story on the Mannah family, including interviews with some of his closest mates at the Parramatta Eels.
Speaking to Johnny's three brothers - Tim, Danny and Jamie; the story focussed on how the family is coping with the loss, and the honour to have tonight's Johnny Mannah Cup played to celebrate his memory.
It also interviewed Jarryd Hayne and Fuifui Moimoi to talk about how much the game means to them, and how they will remember and celebrate Johnny.
From everyone at the Parramatta Eels, we'd like to thank the NRL Footy Show, especially Erin Molan for her work on the story.
