        Wasn't there a member of the very early Warriors squad (circa 1995) who died from a similar injury? Surprised throat injuries aren't more common in rugby and league, given the high impact of both sports.

          shocking news about Fifita, those injuries are always a risk with the front on, upright nature of RL. I am actually shocked they don't happen more often.

          In other, far less serious news

          It appears Jimmy Maloney, super pest, king grub, and serial winner is retiring. Team mates all over the world are breathing a sigh of relief.

            Still early, but Storm down 10 - 0 to the Titans.

            Storm will probably win in the end, but they've been a bit off for about a month now.

              Waratah's legend, Tepai Moeroa, on the field for the Storm.

                Storm down on a lot of usual starters, seemingly at the end of a heavy training load, playing the backup fullback at halfback, and the Titans were up an about. Upset definitely on the cards

                aaaaaand the storm take care of them easy.

                    Quite a good game between the Panthers and Bunnies on right now.

                    12 - 10 to the Bunnies at HT.

                            Hopefully the Warriors get up today and get their 4th win in a row. Broncos just lost to the Roosters by one point last week, so could be a tough one.

                            I have fond memories of going with the family to Warriors vs Broncos games back in the early 2000s.

                            I remember being in the stands getting so hyped after these fights. Back then we won the games and the fights.

                                  @dice we’ve come out of the sheds with a bang and scored two back to back tries, but true to form we give away a soft one straight after.

                                  We are down 14-18 with 20 to go.

                                          Yeah, didn't think we would win this one, but were right in it to the end, perhaps a different kicker today changes the outcome, don't know. Very typical warriors performance, some outstanding efforts mixed some park footy errors.

                                          Still some positives to look for next year... sigh
