Official Johnny Mannah

[Mark^Bastard]

i think u people are forgetting, its only football...and all your worried about is ...o no we dont have him playing, i think you should be more worried about him not having cancer...we can have people replace him on the footy fied...his family has no one to replace him if he dies....

No a Shark with cancer affects me as a fan, not just because of him not being available to play.

 

[Ibanez]

Get well there big fella.

 

[fitz]

Sheeesh, I hope we're getting discounts for bulk usage with the hospitals.

But seriously... I hope Johnny's test results come back negative - I know he has got lots of love and support around him. Be positive big fella.

Johnny Mannah update
August 27, 2009

After scans conducted for a back complaint on young Sharks forward Johnny Mannah revealed 'hot spots', subsequent tests have returned positive biopsy results for lymphoma.

Johnny will begin treatment next week, with the Sharks to give him and his family every possible support during his recovery process.

The Sharks have asked media representatives to respect the privacy of Johnny and his family while he is undergoing his treatment and recovery and while the club appreciates the well wishes of the fans would request any messages of support be directed to the football office and not directly to Johnny himself.

This f*ckin sucks. Forget Mannah the footballer, I care about mannah the person, I mean, I just want him to get well, not just to get well to play for us, it just goes to show how unpredictable life is.

Cronulla prop Johnny Mannah will undergo treatment for lymphoma after a biopsy on his troubled back returned a positive result for the condition.

The Sharks released a statement on Thursday addressing the 19-year-old's health and said Mannah would begin treatment next week.

Lymphoma is a type of cancer that affects the immune system.

"The Sharks can confirm that a biopsy result for Johnny Mannah has come back positive for lymphoma, with Johnny to begin treatment next week," the statement said.

"At this stage the club is unable to make further comment or give more detail.

"We would request that the privacy of Johnny and his family is respected while he attempts to deal with this condition and begin his recovery."

Johnny's older brother Tim Mannah, 21, plays with Parramatta, where the pair played Toyota Cup together.

Australian schoolboys representative Johnny moved to the Sharks from the Eels at the start of the season to seek more first grade opportunities, and still lives with his brother in the family home in Sydney's south-west.

I was keeping everything crossed that it wasn't going to be a positive result.

Lots of strength and courage to you big Johnny and my heart goes out to the Mannah family.

Get well soon big fella.
