Such a shock that a man of his years has had a stroke.
Wishing him a healthy recovery ...

 

[Jolls]

Sad to hear for anyone, but one so young and fit it is a shock. Wishing him a fast and full recovery.

 

[Demps]

Storm is copping a few serious incidents with players.

First Eli, now this...
Both good blokes.

Wishing him a speedy recovery and hoping for the best.

I know someone in their 30s who had a stroke not that long ago, very healthy individual, it can happen any time.

You would think this would write him off for the rest of the season.

Wishing him a speedy recovery.

Please I hope it's not a stroke once you have had one the chance's are very high you will have another inside of two years

If it's a stroke he shouldn't play again

Horrible news, we are probably going to see more of it once the vaccines effect from a few years go takes hold.

Heard a specialist talking about it on the radio and if it is actually a stroke that he has had the problem is something like a heart valve (at least I think that was what he said) that can be operated on via the groin.

He was also saying that younger people under the age of 40 make up 10% - 15% of stroke victims, so it is not as uncommon as most people may think.

The specialist said that there was nothing stopping him resuming playing footy in around 3 months.

Incredibly unlucky, obviously poor health choices throughout your life is usually the culprit but anyone can be a statistic. I had a friend that had a stroke at 17. Still alive today but had to learn to speak again and has walked with a cane ever since. Terrible burden at such a young age.

I feel so sad … terrible for such a fit young man.
Having been through both a stroke and throat cancer ( both being totally unfit) I’m really wishing he finds the strength to get through it,
Good luck and be positive.
