If he's only been able to feel in his right arm since the accident, and that hasn't changed... then quadraplegic seems like a pretty likely scenario I would think.

I mean, I'm no doctor or spinal surgeon... but you would want to be getting some feeling back by now one would think.

All I can say for that physio friend of your mate's Steve is that he is playing with fire. It is a breach of the privacy act.

Can someone delete my comment please? I don't want to get anyone in trouble.

Only mods/admin can see the previous version anyway afaik.

NBN News just said that Alex has been told he will be quadriplegic. I can't find a direct link to a story or website that confirms 100%.

I'm pretty devastated, was hopeful it wouldn't be this bad.

Terrible terrible news... I don't know what to day....

 

[cram]

It's getting space on twitter

 

[hugzy]

just sickening...

hang in there boy

 

[chinorocks]

That's devastating if true.

 

[perverse]

Pretty shattered for him. That's gottta be some of the hardest news anyone can ever hear. Morale at the club must be at an all time low right now.

This is just f**ked.

I hope the boys really lift for Alex the rest of the year, the club should retire his jumper for good not just for the rest of the year.

Tragic, tragic news

 

[tumbidragon]

Gutted for Alex, his family and all you at the Knights. Devastated.

Agree,
I am still in shock, for some reason I thought the news would be better. How the boys will rally this year remains to be seen. Terrible for everyone.

 

[Noname36]

Awful just awful.

I don't know what else to say at the moment.

 

[Zoidberg]

This is such a horrible outcome.

It never really entered my mind that it would be this bad. Worst I thought would be that he couldn't play footy again.

Feel so bad for this young bloke, who sounds like such a great guy. I want the Knights and the NRL to make sure he, and his family, are looked after as best as possible.

 

[CycloneSteve]

Gutted.....I feel like sh!t right now....

 

[Sacrolishes]

Feel quite sick from the news.

We all need to be there for Alex and the Team. Week in Week out, Win or Lose!!
