TheFullMontecristo Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Ben Ross has been taken to hospital after breaking his arm while arm-wrestling fellow ex-rugby league player Wendell Sailor live on Australian TV. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jya0mvSBgWM
JohnS Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Yes it's a shame as the event had good intentions in raising funds for charity. http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/league-news/former-nrl-player-ben-ross-suffers-serious-arm-injury-live-on-the-footy-show-in-stunt-with-wendell-sailor-20150611-ghm1v5.html
westg Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Wendell looks like he could run out and play again right now ...
Ken Gargett Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 bit embarrassing to have that happen in a battle with a winger, even if it is wendell. ben ross has had a heap of major injuries which put him out of the game sadly, but not sure how bright he is when one of the major ones was a neck/spine issue which put him in danger of permanent disability. he is most famous for offending poor gordie tallis who took a bit of exception in a club game. gordie later was part of the coaching team under which ross played so assume no lasting issues.
NJP Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 The noise is so distinct I'll I've heard two in play and one in the street and they are just sickening.
Rushman Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 I can't even bring myself to watch this. I had a freak golf cart accident in 2009 that broke my wrist (both bones) badly and it hurts to even think about watching this. Good think mine only ruined the second round on the last day of our guys golf vacay.
Sver Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 ouch!i dont know why this popped in to my head, such a boss

Terry O'Connor is no Ben Ross as poor Gordie later found out.

Its like no pad football and UFC combined!
Ken Gargett Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 ok I think I would love watching rugby! whats not to love . Its like no pad football and UFC combined! that is league, not rugby (technically rugby league v rugby union). though they are very often confused outside the playing nations. jarrod hayne, trying out for the 49ers, is from league. col scotts, who played for arizona?,as a defensive end i think, was from rugby union.
