The NRL will consider a plan that would see brave Forster teen Curtis Landers deliver the ball to halfway on Grand Final day. Landers, 14, is in intensive care at Royal North Shore hospital after a 24 May horror tackle, that fractured his c2 and c3 vertebrae, left him paralysed. A huge groundswell of support from Landers' local community and the top echelons of Australian media has played out in the days since and thousands of dollars have been raised for the teen's future so far. Daily improvement: Curtis shown here recovering in Royal North Shore hospital 'Ideally we want to get a block of land, put a house on it, and put it in Curtis' name,' said Warren Blissett, a coach of the rising young star.
