The inspirational story of Mose Masoe and Try July

31-year-old Samoa international Mose Masoe suffered a career-ending and life-changing spinal injury at the beginning of 2020 while playing for Rovers in a preseason friendly.

A former Hull KR, Sydney Roosters and Penrith prop, Masoe damaged two vertebrae in an innocuous tackle but within months took a few unaided steps, astounding doctors who had warned he may never walk again.  Mose Masoe's incredible recovery story (above) will leave you in tears.

The Mose Masoe Foundation is being launched to raise funds to help relieve the financial and mental hardship of players who suffer spinal injuries, and Masoe will be the first beneficiary.

Hull KR coach Tony Smith, who is a trustee of the foundation, says it is hoped the initial campaign will raise enough money to help the player and his family while they are living in the UK and when they return home to Australia at the end of the year, when his contract with Rovers runs out.

For the second straight year, Sportsbet will be donating $5,000 for every NRL try celebration throughout July to the Men of League Foundation’s Mose Masoe Appeal.  Last weekend alone the NRL players and their try celebrations like Josh Addo-Carr's above raised $65,000.  Look out for more try celebrations over the next few weekends in July.
