BREAKING NEWS: Teen’s ‘unbelievable’ bravery amid to… Read More

Munro was set to be a fixture on the wing for the Rabbitohs this season but injury got in the way. An ankle problem saw him miss a large portion of preseason, he then fractured his collarbone, which ruled him out of the first five rounds.

He returned in Round 6 only to injure it again..

Souths veteran Cody Walker said Munro went through an “absolutely devastating” week and could have pulled out the morning of the game with the loss of his uncle but never did.

“We all feel for ‘Ty Ty’ and his family. I just want to say on behalf of everyone at the club, we just wanted to send all our love and support to the family,” Walker said.

“I’ve got great admiration and respect for going out there and putting a Bunny jersey on two days after losing his mum and his uncle this morning.

“Nothing but respect and admiration for that young kid. He’s 19-years of age, to have a head on his shoulders the way that he does, we’re so proud to have him at the club and we love having him a part of our group.”

Hornby said Munro never shirked his duties during the week and on match day, even though the club gave him the option of having the week off to ease the burden.

“We’re just so proud of him to do what he did,” he said.

“We obviously gave him the opportunity to not come to training the other day and not to play but that never entered his mind.

“All he’s been focused on is the game and doing his family proud — there’s no doubt he did that tonight.

“When he was running away he was having a good time out there. We were doing the same. We couldn’t be prouder of him, for such a young kid to do what he’s done tonight after what’s happened it’s unbelievable,” Hornby added.
