LOD... One of modern era mental patients.

I think the bloke was actually insane, he left the Tigers before the 2004 season and when he retired he still managed to hold a grudge. Would be on my bingo card of "former NRL player charged with assault" if such a thing existed.

If i had the equivalent of having my leg ripped off in an unnecessary move in a tackle i'd be pretty pissed off as well. He was within a few mm of never walking properly again

Blake Austin went from Dally M 5/8 of the year to complete liability in the space of two seasons.

That's called the 'Ricky polish'

 

[Cumberland Throw]

So direct off a cliff

Nearly jumped off one too

The Aboriginal Alfie Langer, aka, Chris Sandow

Sione Matautia.
That bloke played for Australia. What ever happened to him?

 

[T.S Quint]

Also a couple of Warriors players:
Ali Lauiti’iti and Richard Vilasanti. Those blokes looked like absolute superstars for one or two years...then disappeared.

Dylan Napa

Ewan mcgrady doesnt really count. Best player in the comp for 1 year, hung around a bit but then disappeared back to the bush

That was against the storm wasn't it?
Who were the players involved in that tackle?

It was against the Tigers. Cant remember who it was (Fulton?)

Ali had a good career in the UK. Villa retired a few years later due to knee injuries I believe.

Correct, fulton moved his leg around. Might have been bryce gibbs that was stuck underneath LOD for the entire time until they managed to get LOD off the field (was a pretty lengthy delay). His howls of pain are something i'll never forget.

I think it was vossy on the sunday footy show that showed the extent of the injury using a bunch or dangling chords representing the tendons/muscles and a pair of scissors explaining what each one does and then snipping it off as it is no longer attached. By the end of it out of about 20 there was only one left that he snipped halfway through and that was what LOD had left. Pain wise is the doc he consulted said it was the equivalent of having your leg ripped off.

The type and extent of it had never really been seen before in footy and then not too long after it shane shackelton did nearly the exact same thing. Freakish

To be fair the guys a good quality first grader, was picked ridicously early for Australia by Tim Sheens who liked doing weird things for the sake of it

Wasn't he like the 6th or 7th pick down the pecking order and still came out of left field. One of those end of season tournaments where 2.5 potential aus teams are booked in for surgery and are unavailable

Justin O'Neill, played for Australia and QLD, looked like a Ferrari at Melbourne, now can't catch a cold

LOD was never the same player after that injury. He declined a bit as a player, and came back a lot angrier.

Made qld and australia after he left the storm. Started of shocking with us and then had an awesome patch and now mud again.

Bit of a twist on the dane nielson syndrome

 

[MrBlack]

Also Brent Sherwin

Didn't the Bulldogs let Thurston go so they could keep Sherwin...
