Jeez, that's bloody awful. Poor guy just celebrating and ends up like this. Thoughts are with his family.
Always the bloody celebrations that go too far. Seen it before, lads need to calm down.
the room mate, not the time for 'I was right'
So tragic. Fark, life changes in a split second. Hope he recovers as much as possible 🙏
heartbreaking. Life's fragile eh.
people are cooked in the head, trying to score points off this.
Reminds me of that league player a few years back. These freak accidents make you think twice about jumping around like idiots after a try.

Nah this is just cruel. A young dad, three kids... can't imagine what his missus is going through. Give him some grace eh.
true, no one expects this. Just saying it's a reality check.
I was at that game. Dead quiet when they realised he wasn't getting up. Whole clubs shook up.
Surely the union needs to look at concussion protocols too. But this was just a freak landing. Poor kid.
surreal aye, never seen a crowd so quiet.
All these keyboard warriors saying 'stop celebrating' - you think he planned this? It's a tragedy, not a lesson.
Really puts things in perspective. Hope he's got good ACC support and the community rallies around.
ACC better step up proper. Not just a quick pay out.
Yeah nah this is devastating. That celebration's probably done a thousand times. Just terrible luck.
could happen to anyone. Just tragic.
