Worrying thread on the unoffy, discussing rumour that Crofty may not play again. Of course, all rumour at present, hopefully he will be around Welford Road this pm to disprove it.

Re: Tom Croft
Indeed. If anyone spots him at the match today, please report back.
Whatever you do, don't argue. We might never hear from you again.
Re: Tom Croft
That is a shock. If true I hope Tom can pull through.

Re: Tom Croft
That would be a tragedy for him,hope it's a full recovery.

Re: Tom Croft
Heard the same on another forum: apparently has metal cage around his head as 2 neck vertebrae are going in opposite directions, and cracks in the 3 directly underneath.
Hope is he recovers as Dan Lydiate did, coming back from a broken neck to on of the best 6s in the last 6N.

Re: Tom Croft
Dreadful news for him if true but if his injury is as extensive as suggested then it is highly doubtful we will see him playing again. Heres hoping he has a full recovery.
Re: Tom Croft
If this is true I'm surprised the club has not made a comment.

Tom shown on tv at the match in a full neck brace.
Re: Tom Croft
Sure he had his neck in a brace but there was certainly no metal cage around his head. Whilst I sure hope the rumours are not true, they are just that - rumours!!
Give blood, play rugby!!
Re: Tom Croft
Hopefully inaccurate on both players. Obviously wrong about Woods as he was a replacement!!
Good luck Tom
Good luck Tom

I believe it may be Tom Wood they are referring to rather than Ben Woodspipkoi wrote:Hopefully inaccurate on both players. Obviously wrong about Woods as he was a replacement!!
