McGUIRE BRONCOS BACK AFTER DETACHED RETINA

The story I posted is from this summer but I have two sons who play sports and I worry about them getting injured. My oldest had a hole in his eardrum from playing basketball.

An eye injury almost led to his rugby league retirement, but Brisbane prop Josh McGuire can see a bright future after being cleared for a dramatic NRL return.

Just five weeks ago, the powerhouse forward feared the worst after undergoing a five-hour operation on a detached retina, following an accidental poke in the eye from Broncos' teammate Mitchell Dodds in a match against the Bulldogs.

At just 21, McGuire's NRL dream looked over when he struggled to make out shapes and colours.

But McGuire incredibly received the all clear from a specialist this week - much to the relief of Broncos' coach Anthony Griffin who is ecstatic for McGuire.
