Former Manly Sea Eagles prop Lloyd Perrett is gearing up to take legal action against the club after a training session turned into a nightmare in 2017.
The 29-year-old, who once stood strong in the forward pack, experienced a life-altering seizure during the ill-fated session, leaving him questioning his own mortality.
Reports suggest that Perrett, who was left gasping for water and pushed beyond his limits, collapsed on the training field, only to wake up in a hospital bed surrounded by concerned medical staff.
In a recent interview with WWOS, Perrett expressed his frustration at never fully recovering from the traumatic incident that rocked his world at the tender age of 23.
"I never thought I would be in this position, but everything I had worked for seemed to vanish in the blink of an eye," Perrett shared.
"The physical and mental toll has been overwhelming, and I felt like I had hit rock bottom."
As Perrett prepares to pursue legal action, his story serves as a stark reminder of the unpredictable and sometimes ruthless nature of life in the high-octane world of Rugby League.
In a sport where toughness and resilience are celebrated, his battle off the field is a poignant reminder of the challenges that athletes can face beyond the cheers of the crowd.
