That's cool pakkie. Good to read some good news (even if it's only the headline so far 🙂 ).

Entered this thread with some trepidation.

Always happy to see good news featuring a big bloke from the tight five - I see he's a big handsome fella with a wife who cares, it seems, and he is still strong enough at 27 to work on a lasting recovery.

I admire the progress he has made so far, it would have involved a lot of pain and a hell of a lot of will to succeed. Good on him - I'll say a prayer for him.

Awesome to see and hear some good news. Top bloke and a true warrior on and off the field.

Loved seeing this!! Had been following his story and he's worked so hard, they seem like a lovely young couple too, really felt for them both being in the UK and pretty much alone, then lockdown...man I wish them all the very best! #lovegoodnews

We are so lucky with ACC taking care of those things here in NZ.

It seems that Worcester management is going to look after (according to the end of the story) so hopefully this is a non-issue article

That headline is nothing like the article!

Surely the clubs insurance would pay that bill?

I’d be more concerned if Stuff actually had a an article that matched their headline.

‘Journalists’ come up with click bait article.

Truth ends up being far less dramatic.

Fuck me days print media writers are on the whole a pack of absolute parasites.

1st Pic: 2 years ago. Broken neck, fully paralysed from the neck down and given less than a 5% chance to walk again.
2nd Pic: Walking and swimming at the beach today.

Some days are a struggle. But when I look back at that photo I feel grateful to be doing the things I was praying for on that hospital bed.

Not too sure what the future holds for me but one thing I do know for sure is that I’m just built different 😂 #sci #scirecovery #spinalcordinjury
