Feb 17 - Tom Pritchard, younger brother of Frank, is in critical but stable condition in hospital as the result of a knife wound to the heart, sustained during an incident in the Liverpool area overnight.
It's understood he received four knife wounds, one to the pulmonary artery. He is in intensive care.
Frank Pritchard himself was also wounded, but not critically. He will have an operation on one hand this afternoon.
Police are investigating and it is expected that everyone involved in the incident will be charged with affray. More serious charges are expected as police continue their investigations.
Tom, who played for Penrith's SG Ball, was taking a year off football on the advice of doctors as a result of a serious neck injury last season.
It is not known how long Frank will be out of action while his hand heals.
