The Courier-Mail first reported the Queensland State of Origin icon died on Thursday as a result of his battle with Motor Neurone Disease.

Webb first revealed he’d been diagnosed with early onset MND in 2020 — in news that rocked rugby league.

The father-of-four had felt his condition deteriorate over the three years that he’s had the disease, which impacts nerve cells that control muscles, limiting the ability to move and speak.

He played 187 games throughout his NRL career with three clubs and played in 15 State of Origin matches.

He became a cult hero in Queensland for making an impact in short cameos on the field during Queensland’s era of State of Origin dominance.

More to come…
