Rushed to hospital with breathing issues apparently. Looked upset in the image on buzz’ article. Can’t read it myself for details. Hope he is ok.

Doesn’t sound good at all. Sounds actually pretty scary and painful. Hope he’s alright.

Club confirmed it is a severe laryngeal injury.

Those photos were upsetting. You can see the look of fear in his eyes.

Love Fifita for what he has done for us. Hate seeing him like this

Cronulla Sharks veteran Andrew Fifita has reportedly been placed in an induced coma after a “significant” throat injury following his side’s loss to the Knights on Sunday.

Wishing the big fella well. Scary time for him and his family . Regardless of our rivalry, no one wants to see any nrl player go through this situation.

Can I please ask the most obvious question - Was there foul play involved that caused this injury?

I just looked at the Human Body Chart and noticed that the Larynx is above the shoulders.

Of course, wishing the Great Man a speedy recovery.

Without details hard to judge but looks like over 12 month out if it’s fractured badly. Hate to see him go out like that

Exactly was there any foul play involved?????

Jesus that’s f**king scary. Anyone with any medical knowledge know what this means? In terms of its severity and what it means for his career? Would hate to see him go out like that.

Induced coma will relax Fifita he won't be stressing about the upcoming surgery, the more relaxed you are easier for surgery and recovery

Rory Kostjasyn from Knights suffered a throat injury that forced him into retirement.
Not sure of the similarities. But either way does not sound good.
Wishing Fifs a speedy recovery. Thoughts are with him and his family.

 

[Don Tweddle]

Very scary stuff. Jack A. Williams had a similar injury in the trial against the Dragons and had a panic attack when he was getting treated with oxygen. The level of physical risk anyone who plays at this level faces is no joke.

 

[Birdee_Num_Num]

what an absolute tragedy.
can't believe it.
prayers and best wishes with you big fella!

 

[Weaponhead]

All the best to Andrew and his family.

 

[Captain Apollo]

Best wishes to Andrew and his family. Hope Andrew makes a full recovery.

 

[shadowboxer]

Terrible news.
Wish him well in recovery.
Absolute legend of the game - I just hope he gets top notch medical treatment.

will have to check the replay on Kayo, and hope the Club is looking into this as well. I remember play being stopped early in the 2nd half but no other reaction from any match officials.

The induced coma is an indicator of how serious this is. I don’t want to see him go out like this, he is a Shark Icon.
