Just saw this, hope the big man is doing well

Yeah tough as Kauri that fellah, not good at all.

Hear it during the games against the Poms, Halligan spoke about it on the sideline. A quick google only came up with Hepatitis during his playing days.

Its a real bitch.
It's taken people I've known, one especially well before his time.
Had a family member overcome it

It's a damned shame.

Let's go Quentin! Really hope he battles it and comes out on top

Sad news. I used to train at his house when he lived in brisbane. Such a nice bloke. Very down to earth.

One thing he has going for him is often with bowel cancers they can remove a section of the bowel and stitch the rest back together, I used to work with a guy who'd had it done successfully. Hope Quentin's is operable, always rated the bloke as a player. tough as nails and seemed like a good bloke too.

Just saw a photo of him. Looks bloody gaunt.

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

Tough bastard
He will beat this

Good luck Quentin. The Pongias used to live fairly close to us. I’d see them often going for an afternoon walk.

 

[Walter sobchak]

Very sad news. One of my favourite players back in the day during the 90’s.

Pongia, Walters, Lomax- pretty all time front row

Pongia, Walters, Lomax- pretty all time front row

Johnny Lomax is still a hard bastard too- except these days he’s sticking it to the government and dodgy construction companies instead of opposition front rows.
