Nathan Stapleton

I can’t post the article here, but he went to hospital after suffering a spinal injury over the weekend. He was playing bush footy.

Terrible, terrible news. Hopefully he is ok but by the sounds of things it’s not looking good.

I could only find paywall articles on it so I just saw a snippet.
He was playing bush Union? Maybe as a flanker?
Damn I hope he ends up ok, shocking news.

That’s f**ked. Poor fella

Terrible...

Dreadful thing to happen. Good on the Sharks for supporting him

Unfortunately he's paralysed from the neck down, been told by a mate close to the family. Hard to fathom the feelings those around him would be experiencing, let alone Nathan himself. Scary is a word that comes to mind. Pretty hard life ahead for all involved. All the best Nathan.

Horrible that. Poor bloke.

Totally f**ked. Just playing to enjoy it in his twighlight playing days and this ruins his life. Baby on the way too. Not fair.

The Sharks are auctioning jersey, or jerseys? From last night's game to raise money for Stapo.

Didn’t he try to sue us over the peptide scandal?

 

[roboshark]

Poor bloke. Hope all is ok as it can be

 

[Poss]

Confirmed quadriplegic. Paralysed from the shoulders down. Horrible news.

He's a bit small to be playing flanker unless he's piled on the kilos over the years.

Union flankers are usually Sherman tanks eg former Wallabies flanker David Pocock.

I don't think Stapo would be that big.

 

[glenmoresharkie]

God that’s just absolutely devastating. Puts alot of things into perspective tbh. Can’t even imagine how he’s feeling now

All the best Stapo
