“They were growing and developing; on a personal level, I’m really disappointed for them.<\/p>\n
“They will both come back stronger, they’ll both come back as better people, and I’m sure both will go on to have great careers in the game.<\/p>\n
“Brandon’s injury was actually a result of a tackle in the first half – he got through the game, which is incredible considering the injury he sustained.<\/p>\n
“But he’s a great character, a really, really good player. And we’re all really disappointed for him.<\/p>\n
“He’s naturally very disappointed himself, but as always we’ll work very hard in conjunction with the parent club to help them rehab and get back as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n
