Ruptured Achilles.
Was playing Nudgee third's back in my day against Toowoomba, was going to clear out a ruck, had a bloke land on me and broke my neck, in hospital for a few weeks was really brutal, but just got so much love for the game can't let it go that's why I find myself here.
Hey Paul, nice to have you on mate. Enjoy yourself

hey QTT,
that ben burgess kid can play footy. made my way up the range last week and he was truly the best on ground. can't wait to see how he matches up against Conway this weekend
Any players in this to look out for in the GT 1sts?
Great to see you expressing your input Paul that's what this forum is all about. Keep working hard legend.
Jacob Sutherland was extremely impressive in the Downlands game when he stepped up to play firsts. I believe someone told me he made upwards of 30 tackles in the game and ran the ball over 15 times. This hardworking kid most definitely has what it takes to be apart of the GT side and I am ecstatic to see him grow and play 1sts next year.
Hopefully the Boys can bounce back this weekend against college. I think the problem for these boys is that they are waiting for something to happen instead of digging in and working as a 15. I understand they might have their main strike weapon in nick weir out with a knee injury but with the likes of Condron and Clifton their is no excuse for not working hard. Head coach Luke Dalterio will be under immense pressure this weekend as his side needs to record a win to remain on track for the prem. Have heard that Michael Kent will be called upon if these city slickers cant get their act together and play some hard footy and work as a 15 for 60 minutes. Also a big loss in jerry hard bottle reports saying he sustained a concussion in a car crash yesterday on the way out to tennyson. Can these GT boys catch a break.
Love how you can get this inside info. Are you involved with the GT program mate?
I am glad to see Rhymen Tusi back in the 13 jumper. He played one of the best games i have ever seen in my life against the GT 16A team. Single handedly dismantling them, scoring 3 tries and setting up two or three from long range.

Where are you guys getting these 16As and 2nds team lists I would love to have a read of all the schools...
After my time at TGS, I made the move to Leos (UQ boarding house), whilst playing for East’s… In the ‘bye’ or holiday period (Can’t remember), I went back home and went on trip out to the scrub with a few mates. To put it simply enough whilst chasing a boar, hopped off my horse and in the process of landing twisted my knee. ACL shattered, and meniscus torn, just like that I didn’t play footy for 2 years. Just a quick message for the schoolboys on this forum. Be thankful your young, and uninjured. With knowing this play your heart out, cause you never know when your last game will be…
