We don’t often talk about players from other teams, but feel compelled to send best wishes to Sam Docherty. Sport is bloody unfair at times. Everyone at the Bombers wishes him all the best for a speedy recovery.

Shattered for Sam Docherty. Such a quality person who will throw everything into his rehab. He was flying last week. Cruel game sometimes.
