Joel Thompson - Accident

[Graham]

Well this looked pretty serious! He says he had a 'real bad accident' while drinking and partying.

Quote

“I just caught up with mates and rolled down a big hill until I hit a rocky end,” he said.

“My head hit it hard and I didn’t think I’d survive. But I’ve come through it.

“I’m in survival mode and it’s been a mess but I am OK.”

Despite talk he might have gone to play in Super League he's signed to stay where he is at Manly.

 

He looked to be in a pretty drastic state. Massive tattoo too!

Hope he makes a full recovery. Looks like he’s been a lucky boy. Always knew the Aussies couldn’t handle their drink

Well there’s a lesson . My stores of sympathy are very limited for idiotic behaviour

That's a bit harsh without knowing the full story, it could easily have been a simple accident.
