I know Mr Matterson from his Broncos days. He's not soft. What I like is that he was back at work the day after, apparently

them theories are complete . I can vouch for that having broken my femur and various other bones

There are ppl though who have broken bones and not known about it (sports people esp)

Jason Roberts broke his leg when Latics won promotion and played on it for around an hour and only realised back in the changing rooms later on.

The thought of anybody losing any limbs absolutely knocks me sick! Can you imagine the shock??

Plus, a paper cut only hurts when you notice it. I know it's nothing like a broken bone... But that's a much higher degree of pain so you're obviously more likely to feel it. I think sportsmen not feeling pain as much will have something to do with the high level of adrenaline and endorphines.
