Very sad news. Best of luck to him and his family.

Dr Google says that Hodgkins and Non- Hodgkins lymphoma has a 80% + survival rate. He age will work against him, but the odds are in his favour.

Delta Goodrem had it.

I like that positivity.

Delta Goodrem had it.

so did Jon Mannah

Oh ...

Damn terrible news, one of our greatest ever Eels.

He was the only bloke who got over the top of Wally in Origin that's all you need to know about him as a footy player.


And most of his blow ups in the media about the club ishrough the last couple of decades is through pure frustration. Can't say i blame him.

Hopefully he can beat this prick of a disease.

All the best Bert.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

This sucks.

 

[Eelogical]

One of the greatest Eels. I hope he gets through this difficult time in his life. My thoughts are with him.

 

[Eelementary]

f**k!

That sucks!

Get well soon, Brett!

Our thoughts are with you and your loved ones!

Best of luck with it Brett. A great player in his day and a good friend of the club in that bygone era.

Shame the comparative frustration about full time professional footy had to kick in among his generation of players, but I digress.

And a shame the news was broken on the Hadley program, surprised that people actually listen to that shit...

Best of luck, Brett. If cancer had a conscience it would try harder to find someone more worthy than you.

I hope he looks like Delta when he comes out the other side!

Bert was my hero as a teenager. I was (rightly) ridiculed for my obsession with him. Let's hope that a bloke that could do things so extraordinary on the field can get a single stroke of luck off it.

2 tries x 3 consecutive GFs.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

What was he like as a teenager? Obviously pretty bloody good already.

Well he debuted at 19

 

[phantom eel]

He was a freakish young footballer...had attended the same primary school as me (albeit a decade earlier), and was a humble enough guy to happily visit and mingle with us awestruck kids there DURING those glory 81-82-83 years.

Here's hoping he beats it.

All the very best Bert.

And had two disallowed in 86.

My parents have known his parents for a long time and I met him quite a few times back in the late 80's and early 90's when he would play up here in QLD. My parents knew them through Baseball and Brett was a very good Baseballer playing at Blacktown workers.
I think they still speak on the odd occasion but I sent Dad the article who ironically sits right next to me at work, broke his heart to hear this news.

All the best Mr Kenny as I use to call him.

I remember him as a teenager at the Owls ( Naturally a few grades up from us ). There was lots of talk about a certain young fellow coming through. Occasionally coming in earlier to watch the younger teams play just to see what all the fuss was about it was quickly obvious. Didn't last long, He was graded quickly. Even at a young age you just knew.

Hope he does OK. Early detection is the key.
