[Bulldog1966]

FMD hope he gets through this which he should do, but that is fn scary

 

[c-b-b]

Wouldn't wish this one anyone, hopefully a full and speedy recovery.

 

[B-Train]

That's pretty scary. Hopefully he'll be okay. His voice will probably never be the same though.

 

[iDoggiesFan]

Best wishes to the big fella!

 

[Moedogg]

Wishing him a full recovery.

 

[astroboy]

I hope he recovers from this.

Did anyone see what happened during the match yesterday?

 

[Bulldog1966]

No i didnt notice anything that led to this, may have been an errant high shot idk??.
There is a biggest cat thread floating around on the forum(people can judge for themselves if that's in poor taste or not)but this highlights the game can be pretty tough and dangerous if something goes wrong and it doesn't have to be by much of a margin either to have serious implications.

I hope he recovers from this.

This did the damage. In a tackle with Klemmer.

 

[Bulldog1966]

Ball in hand leading with an Elbow to the throat? Not a good look...

Of course not.

I'm not his fan but wish him a speedy recovery

Speedy recovery to him. Beat the Storm in a GF and played well for the Blues.

 

[Kung fu man]

Poor bloke he'll probably sound like Billy Slater now.

 

[Gene Krupa]

Elbow/forearm to the throat. Was there any disciplinary action by that?

Probably tomorrow, they have asked for different camera angles.

Elbow/forearm to the throat. Was there any disciplinary action by that?

No he was in possesion JWH does that every time he runs into the defence

Elbow/forearm to the throat. Was there any disciplinary action by that?

The NRL haven't finished the Sunday games yet due to lack of camera angles.
