Not a dirty tackle at all seen much worse but unfortunately got his head in the wrong place at the wrong moment wish him and his family all the best for a speedy recovery

Was watching the game so saw it as it happened and I share these sentiments.

Same, watched it live

In an induced coma after having emergency surgery, gutted for the kid. It has to be a long road back if that's even an option.

Was a horrible tackle, picking a player up as a gang and driving them into the ground is far worse than a shoulder charge. I know there'll always be an element of risk in the sport but they do need to clamp down on these 'bent rules' tackles and they'll be out the game in a matter of weeks.
