Former League Player bashed

[The Colonel]

Former Souths, Dragons and Eels fullback Rod Maybon was released from hospital yesterday after being assaulted in Kings Cross on Sunday morning. Police are investigating.

A former South Sydney, St Georghe and Parramatta footballer was bashed in Kings Cross and died before being revived by paramedics.

Rod Maybon, 34, who played 156 first grade games during the 1980's and 1990's, came off life support on Monday and has returned to his eastern suburbs home.

A former representative fullback, Maybon did not wish to speak publicly about the incident.

Maybon was in a fight in Darlinghurst Rd when struck over the head with a bottle on Sunday.

Police said he was taken to St Vincent's hospital with a substantial head wound - a severed artery - at 6am.

"I heard he was out in the Cross with a couple of mates and a fight happened" said George Pggins, Maybon's former coach at South Sydney.

"It was pretty savage."

all the best Rod. As a former Raider (which the papers neglected to mention) all of us associated with the Raiders are thinking about you.

Being in Melbourne can I ask how is the media is running with this. Not the wild media scrum when someone from within our game stuffs up?
