Wow- that’s a hell of a blow, poor fella has to retire after that bad knock v Tigers. All the best to him.

Sounds terrible - not much said about the incident just after kick-off. Just shows how relevant the head injury focus is atm...

Hope he gets the best support from hereon.

Life changing damage to his right arm apparently. Sounds awful.

I feel very sorry for the guy losing his livelihood in this way. I've never heard of an arm injury curtailing a career before.

sounds like his arm is paralysed- awful.

Blimey that is awful. Feel for him.

I’m hoping it’s not as bad as that. The nerve damage is obviously serious enough to end his career and be life-changing, but I really, really hope it’s not as serious as him completely losing use of his arm.

That was the initial report, and obviously i hope its not the case,

Top sports people do often make stronger than expected come backs from these sort of things. Mental toughness, adherence and commitment to re-hab etc.
