The news gets worse, I have heard from somebody very close to Simon that it's likely that he will never play again. I am hoping I am wrong. Poor kid

My hopes and prayers go out to simon.

Hopefully the bye will assist and he'll be back for the Eels game.

I have my doubts and to be honest there is a possibility he may never play again or it could just be slight nerve damage without much to worry about.I dont know for sure and Im no doctor but I Have a fear watching him walk off that theres a remote chance he has suffered something very sickening which if proven to be correct will mean he will never play again.Sad but true.The extremely worrying thing is that he was gone in the lower arm,the shoulder and just as if not more frightening seemingly the right side of his face looked like it might have had some nerve issues.Yet again I dont know exactly but watching him come off then seeing him in a neck brace sent to hospital it did not look to good.

How about you keep your opinions to yourself. :crazy :rant The thing about this forum is full of no-it alls that dribble s***.

Umm what am I again.

It is terrible news. Hope Simon makes a speedy recovery.

FYI - I had this injury as a junior and it took approximately 3 months to return to a normal feeling in the shoulder/arm and a further 3 months to return to full strength. Whilst there's no guarantees with nerve damage, just thought I'd put that out there for those thinking that this might be career ending.

Great description benji_da_gun! The brachial plexus is formed by the last four cervical nerves (C5-C8) and the first thoracic nerve (T1), basically it inervates the nerves of the arm wrist and hand. Pretty painful injury but shouldn't end his career, would be fair to say with the right rehab he is probably looking at 6-9 months, maybe longer. Wish him all the best for a health recovery!

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

It's far too early to speculate on his future when the nature of the injury doesn't allow for an immediate prognosis.

Hoping he does have a speedy recovery so he can resume basic motor functions that have been affected by the injury.

 

[innsaneink]

Ive heard once or twice on sports programs the possibility of lawsuits mentioned….hope thats not necessary

Where did you hear that, and pertaining to which parties?

 

[happy_tiger]

Honestly Ink I can't see that happening That would be like sueing your own family Lets just hope he is ok to Firstly Resume his life and Secondly make it back on the field at 100% fitness

A person close to Simon who told me that Simon would likely never play again told me the same thing.

All the best to Simon and his family for a full recovery.
