Good luck Roughy. Great to hear you are back.
From a selfish perspective will be great to see him playing as he is such a beast of a player.

Great news. Changed my avatar when he announced, it really is the best Xmas pressure this year. Can't wait to be there for his first game back. Tears will be shed

Great news. So scary to see anyone let alone healthy young men hit by this terrible illness.
Welcome back to the big show Big Roughy and all the best for your future health. Go easy on Port though.

I am happy but still think that no stone should be left unturned. Hopefully the treatment is complete and they monitor everything like crazy.

He'll initially be having 3-monthly reviews, then I think after a certain period of time with clear scans, it goes out to 6-monthly, and goes out further from there. I guess it's possible he'll have six monthly reviews for the rest of his life.
I'd be OCD and request a scan every 3 weeks. Paranoid about early detection!

To his credit, he's pretty self aware of that.
Should perhaps say "still at their club". But you get the idea.

Frikken sensational news, looking forward to seeing him run amok next season (against anyone except us)
Good to see opposition supporters taking the time to give their well wishes to Roughy and now express their joy about this awesome recent update on the big fella, not that I'd expext any less... but nonetheless, it's just great to see. Our great game can still bring us all together when needed

First and foremost congrats Rough. Never in doubt with your attitude.
But with vickery, Gunston and shoe upfront Rough can spend a lot more time in the middle now counteracting some midfield concerns.
A great day

We become too buddy conscience and he let us down missing easy set shots at goal in many crucial games, especially in the 2012 grand final kicking 3-7!
But apart from all that i just wanted to express my excitement on and great news for Roughy!
Brilliant news for a quality person and a true leader of the HFC!
Clarko ones said, I would be happy to finish last next season as long as i get a fully healthy Roughead!
I know footy is secondary when anyone has to face challenges like that in life, but boy I can't wait to see the big Rough back on the field in action were he belongs.

Great news. Hopefully he has a full life with a couple of father sons.
This is fantastic news. Am so happy for the big guy, especially after early information gave the impression that things werent good.
It will be an emotional time when he gets out there and kicks his first goal. Can not wait.
