00:00Yeah, it looks like full ACL rupture, so we're just going through the process with him at the

00:05moment, getting the scans done, speaking to the appropriate people.

00:10How is he? Obviously, we know he's spent so much time on the sidelines, such a promising return.

00:15What is all getting around him at the moment?

00:17Yeah, absolutely. Look, he's spent a little bit of time at home with his family as well,

00:22seeing some surgeons in Sydney. But yes, you don't want to see this happen to anyone,
