South Sydney Rabbitohs and Sydney Roosters will set aside their rivalry on Friday to honour Jai Arrow's 100th NRL match, following his retirement due to motor neurone disease. Arrow, 31, retired earlier this year two games shy of the milestone. The NRL approved a special rule change allowing him to play as an additional player for the Rabbitohs, his former club. Arrow reached his 99th game last weekend against the Gold Coast Titans, receiving a standing ovation before being substituted off after three seconds. He will play his 100th match at Allianz Stadium on Saturday.
