*BIG Story breaking out of the Parramatta club

[Moggles]

If it is infact thyroid cancer, the younger you are the better chance you have of recovery apparently (just surfed for info).

Cancer sucks arse no person deserves it.

 

[coolumsharkie]

Thats tough news..... poor bloke

Looking on the bright side He's young and he's fit, the odds are with him there

Good luck Vella

 

[bulldogs = #1]

Goodluck to Mick Vella. Hope he beats it.

 

[Craigshark]

Hope he gets well soon..

 

[chileman]

Talk about jumping the gun! No-one even knows what type of cancer he has. Lets hope it is a highly cureable cancer and he is hardly out of the game at all.

I'm not jumping the gun amigo...there was a previous thread which what I was referring to...it has been removed!

 

[Mighty Tiger]

I have never been a fan of Vella's but I do wish him, family and friends all the best!

 

[supersoniceagle]

Good luck Mick

 

[Bomber]

Terrible news

I assume he isn't going to play this year, if at all?

 

[***MH***]

Best wishes Mick V.
I wouldn't wish cancer upon anyone, unlike a certain dragons supporter :evil:

Vella is battling cancer
By staff writers
February 24, 2005

FORMER rugby league international Michael Vella will reveal this afternoon he's battling cancer.

The Parramatta Eels stalwart, who turned 25 just last weekend, will go public with the devastating news at 2pm this afternoon, the club confirmed today.

Details of the type of cancer from which he is suffering or when he was diagnosed will remain under wraps until then.

The club said it was keen to allow Vella the opportunity to break what would be difficult news in his own time.

Vella, who has played representative football for both Australia and Queensland's State Of Origin team, recently turned down a lucrative contract to play with Wigan Warriors in the English Super League. It is unclear whether or not his diagnosis came before that decision and if it had any bearing on it. The official reason for the snub to the former Super League champions was that he was happy at home. "Wigan are talking about me going over straight away but I'm contracted to Parramatta for the rest of this year," he told The Daily Telegraph at the time. More to follow

sad news, i hope he gets better soon

 

[Twizzle]

Queensland SOO ??

How bad do I feel after dissing him for the last 12 months.

Hope he gets over it.

 

[Belly in Brisvegas]

So do I Twiz but as Suity said on the Parra thread, we weren't to know.

I'd given him a pretty big bollocking over the past few months but we only see what runs out in the blue and gold.

Best wishes to Mick, his family and the club.

feel bad for him in that he has cancer.

Fight hard Mick.

As for Hadley....why has that dickhead got the right to publicly announce sensitive and private information to the world, before the actual person involved has done so. This is about life and death you idiot!! Not a Lowes commercial!!

If theres one, thing I hate about league, its the idiots that are charged with the honour of reporting the game. The game makes them millionaires, and they make cocks of themselves.

 

[Mr Saab]

why shoot the messenger...
Hadley had a job to do as a reporter and he did it.
Nothing stays secret in league...nothing.

Bullshit....ask the Dogs about secrets....

I can just see the fat taxi driver resting on his laurels and taking credit for delivering a "scoop".

Dont shoot the messenger? Put it this way...Hadley doesnt have to say anything, just show me where the slingshot's kept.

The messanger wasn't asked to send the message as yet that's why. Mick Vella is the messenger really.
