Some perspective - It’s only a game of footy

Rest In Peace big fella.

 

[Nice Beaver]

Bloody hell. Thats horrible!

Condolences to his family and friends.

Poor Shalisse, awful to have found him.

What a tragedy!! He was so young and it goes to show you that the black dog is a continued menace for so many of us out there. RIP Lance!!

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Terrible news, should offer a lot of perspective on what a footy result actually means in the big scheme of things

 

[Harvies elbow]

Very sad news.
Thoughts and prayers to all you knew him.

Lance Thompson update: Police saying no evidence of self harm more likely his shock death is a medical episode. Very sad. @tendailyau @TenNewsSydney

Lance provided one of the funniest moments in NRL history, but was always an tough, honest footballer. 40 is way too young.

That part has been confusing ! The NRL article said no self harm then had the lifeline link at the bottom

Terribly sad. RIP.
A tough player I enjoyed watching.

I think he died from a diabetic episode, not anything sinister.

Most articles lament that he was part of the losing saints side in the 99 premiership.

They don’t mention he was also part of the saints loss to manly in 96!

 

[Under the Sticks]

Wasn’t he part of the Brown Slapping incident with Twenty? Who was the other one?

 

[47MVEagle]

Very sad, far too young. RIP.

Firman from memory

 

[HoldenV8]

Wow, not good.

He was only 40....kinda puts things into perspective doesn't it. Live the life you have because you just never know when it'll end.

RIP Lance Thompson and condolences to his family and friends.

 

[Tomay]

As a redhead I always liked Lance Thompson. He played tough and made the most of his ability. RIP.

It was mate . He was ripping into Barrett, Firman and Thompson and Thompson went to walk away so Brown grabbed him by the jumper and pulled him back . Thomo then fixed his collar up , funny . All after the famous slap .

Bloody sux... i admired LT as a player and a bloke... always seemed to wear his heart on his sleeve and inspire his teammated by ripping in - much to my chagrin when they were llaying Manly... flippin 40 and fit as (for 30 years of it at least, not sure how he spelled), it aint right...R.I.P.

 

[MadMarcus]

Too sad. He always seemed like a good bloke.
