Dangerous that he slept with it last night, a relief he's in good care

Maybe 3 weeks at best...finger crossed, get well mate

The Sydney Roosters can confirm that upon the conclusion of the Roosters v Storm fixture, hooker Jake Friend was last night taken for x-rays, which were cleared, after complaining of shortness of breath.

He was later taken to hospital when the symptoms continued and has been diagnosed with a Haemothorax. He remains in hospital while he undergoes further examination.

The Sydney Roosters will provide an update in due course.

Best wishes Jake, get well soon.

Awful news. Our most important player.

Big setback throws a massive spanner in our quest for back to back titles.

We cannot win without him. Best hooker in the game

Agree. Friend is a marvel. Wouldn't swap him with any other hooker.

Best case scenario is that the patient makes it to advanced medical care (ie, on a surgical table) in less than an hour, and the intial cause of bleeding is repaired. With moderate blood loss, adequate IV fluid resuscitation and a chest tube in (to drain the residual floor/fluid and ensure the lung stays inflated), a patient can wake up within hours of the surgery in the ICU and be relatively fine. Their breathing would not be 100% for awhile and they'd be in quite a bit of pain, but aside from a scar, there'd be no lasting effects.

Worst case scenario (assuming they make it out of surgery) can go one of two ways - the blood loss would have been too great/the bleeding restarts (you can bleed out nearly all your blood into a lung cavity) and the medical staff can't get fluids/blood back in fast enough, and they die of blood loss/heart failure.

Lets juts hope Friendy gets through it to begin with.

thoughts are with him, i hope he is alright and gets well soon....as much as id love him back asap his health comes first..we are not a one man team we will miss him but the machine will still function..get well soon Jake.

I just spoke to someone very close to Jake and its not BS. He's undergoing surgery as I type this. I can't and won't say too much more but please just have some good wishes and thoughts for our Friend. He's been in a lot of pain and distress since the early hours of this morning.

His health and future life are of paramount importance.
NRL is only 'footy'.

Hopefully he has the best doctor available.
