Roughead out indefinitely

He's holding a press conference tomorrow morning at 9:30am. Hoping there's good news.

No, it's not. Quite the reverse, in fact.

4 spots found on his lungs which are cancerous
Going to be given immunotherapy (new form of chemotherapy) which will take 12 months to complete.
Then there is a period of time (unknown length) where he can't partake in any physical activity
Sounds like he can kiss next season and more than likely 2018 away.
Hope he gets this under control and return to the field
Good luck roughie fight it hard mate

Hoping it's a good outcome for him in the end and I don't think it matters if he returns to footy or not because he's already achieved everything that most players dream of achieving when they first pursue a career in the system.
