Has ended his career according to our local paper. Seriously sad news if it turns out to be true.

It is indeed sad but not entirely unsurprising given his age and the seriousness of the injury. The important thing is that he can get up and about and still be able to do everything he wants to do in retirement.

They are saying an artificial disc in his neck failed and pinched his spinal cord, so the operation was to deal with that. I think it's probably one of those things where even if he makes a full recovery (which fingers crossed he will) its just not worth risking it by playing again.

Quote from Tony Smith in the HDM:

“This is a career-ending injury. If Mose is able to walk again that will be a success.

“All that is still unknown and we’ve got to be careful what we set our sights on as an outcome."

Here's hoping for that success.

As a Trinity fan at the game last Sunday, this is really sad news to everyone in the game. I’m sure everyone within the game and beyond wish him well, and come together to help, as the game community came together for Robbie B.

Really bad news for the player and for KR and it seems worse that this was in a friendly fixture.
Although he may not be able to play RL again in future, really hope that he gets a decent recovery and can do plenty of other stuff.

So he already had a problem with his spine/neck?

Hope the outcome will be as positive as it can be for Mose.

Apparently so. It's not something I had ever heard about before.

Blimey, good luck to the 'big fella'....terrible news.

i was wondering what had happened, whether it was a freak accident or whether he'd been upended/dirty play cos i've not heard ANYONE say anything about it, it's been unusually quiet.

Someone has put a clip of the incident on twitter, its so innocuous you wouldn't believe it.

Freak accident no players to blame looked norhing but play stopped for a good 10 minutes so you knew it was a serious injury just hope he gets a full recovery

Today's Times reckoned he'd had three discs replaced. I'm astonished he was playing if this is right.

it shouldn't of been allowed, I always thought it was bad enough with Barry and his false eye getting hit broadside not seeing it coming but he held his own on the field but artificial discs is asking for trouble, this could of easily gone in training

I aren't an expert on these things. I don't know if this is unprecedented or more common than you realise, but he must have had the all clear from a doctor to be able to play.

For me it just provides even more proof (as if it were needed) of just how brave these guys are, and how the rewards for what they do are pitifully low given what they put themselves through.
