The Brisbane Broncos have unveiled a long-term memorial to the late Carl Webb: the Red Hill strength leaderboard bears his name.
Webb played 187 NRL games in his career, with Brisbane, from 2000 to 2004. He lost his fight with Motor Neurone Disease in December of last year.
Webb set numerous records in the club’s gym and is still the top performer in the bench press and back squat, even after leaving the Broncos two decades ago.
In Brisbane, the former forward for the Broncos, Cowboys, and Eels has been awarded a posthumous honor under the new name, The Carl Webb Strength Leaderboard.
This Monday, the Broncos announced the move, with Brisbane coach Kevin joining Webb’s children Hunter and Brooklyn.
When Carl was going to make a tackle, they would swiftly switch to poor old Kevvie, and I would have to do all the work for Carl since the opposition would just run sideways away from him. I was playing for the Broncos in the game.
“Aside from his character, he was a good player. His personality and character were great for any team. He was a very selfless person who always gave to the team first.”
The Broncos and the Carl Webb Foundation will keep collaborating to raise money, awareness, and support for the fight against motor neuron disease.
