NRL player Trevor Crow's devastating diagnosis

Former Newcastle Knights board member and St George second rower, is now needing one-on-one care. But sometimes even that is not enough. Read the full story: https://www.theaustralian.com.au/spor... It takes two of them, Sandra and the carer, to wrestle her husband Trevor Crow into the shower, ­pinning his hands while she swabs him down quickly, fearful of the ­violent blows and abuse likely to come. The home where the former Newcastle Rugby League chairman, once a St George second rower, is now staying offers one-on-one care. But sometimes even that is not enough. Trevor is non-verbal, physically destructive, often bed-ridden, barely able to feed himself and wears an adult nappy. He is 63 years old. Trevor’s medical team says he is ­succumbing to dementia induced by the repetitive head knocks he suffered while playing the game from age five to 36.
