"Nathan Murphy ... hasn't managed to get back to an AFL video game. He have not had the ability to return to the footy as a result of the sound. "He pointed out some days he struggles to get out of bed. That is why these major payments are actually crucial, but as our team pointed out, perhaps the carpet's being actually pulled out right now using this significant modification, which is a bit of an unpleasant surprise and a problem."
