All the best

[Phil McCreviss]

Gday Tiger supporters. Just wanted to say a quick "get well soon" to big Simmo. We all tend to get a bit passionate about our footy at times but its situations like this that put things in to perspective.

Hope the big fella gets better and is back on the footy field soon to represent the yellow and black.

Exremely serious. A blot clot on his lung which can cause death if left too long. He's out for the year.

Clots can take some time to break up. He's still in hospital and is on medication. They are extremely seious as they travel to the heart and block off supply causing instant death. Plane travellers are common sufferers as you may know.

Just another damn curse to strike the RFC.

True but the club as a whole has incurred some rotten luck to key senior players in recent years. Fortunately the year is almost done and simmo can get well soon for 08.

Good on you mate.

Although serious at the moment there is nothing to stop him from playing for another 3-5 years. Hird also suffers from clots and it has not stopped him. My family has a history of clots and it does not stop any of them from living normal lives. Just means he has to take a tablet or 2 everyday and go through regular blood tests.

He will probably be on medication (warfarin) for at least 6 months which will mean he wont be able to play contact sport in that time (IMHO). This is an extremely serious condition and we should all wish him a speedy recovery.

All the best to Simmo and his family. Get well soon, big fella!

warfarin thins the blood, so obviously a heavy hit could put him in hospital at best or bleeding to death at worst.
lets hope he has the speediest of recoveries and gets back to his 06 form in 08.
