Lachlan Coote

[Sandy]

Lead story on our local Look North about Lachlan Coote and his decision to retire. Speaks about how he was starting to forget things and after a scan, they found a bleed on his brain. Very emotional when he sat in front of the specialist, with his wife, and he was told, that's it, you have to finish. He's done the right. He comes across as such great bloke but as he said, he has to think of his and his families future.

Can watch it here for anyone interested.

Poor lad, but being found early enough before any further damage is good news, all the best Lachy.

[Angelic Upstart]

Frightening really. Imagine what goes unnoticed.

[Irish Saint]

May he make as full of a recovery as is possible.

A player who was a delight to watch no matter what team colours he adorned.

A bleed on the brain is desperately bad news for him and his future. 

Let's stop talking about concussions and call them for what they are - brain injuries.

Also maybe time for fans to have a think before constantly claiming certain players are feigning injury. Something which Coote often had thrown at him.
