Yep to summarise his injury:
He dislocated his ankle
Has a comminuted compound fracture which means the bone was splintered into several pieces with one of those pieces breaking through the skin and was poking through his sock!
He requires a skin graft because the skin was so damaged as a result of the compound fracture.
They have been washing the wound every day to ensure they remove any dirt etc from in between the shattered bones to prevent infection, and are unable to operate and do the skin graft until they are sure its all clear.

Very serious injury with lots of tissue damage etc.
Last week the Manly Daily had a young man of 35 die from complications of a compound leg fracture.
He may never play Footy again 🙁
All the best on his recovery all the same from all Footy Supporters.

God that sounds horrible. Hopefully he's bought all the **** luck with injuries now and will have a few seasons untroubled (if he can still run). Reminds of when Mr Meninga was breaking his arm constantly for about 2 seasons.

* Warning *
Viewer discretion needed.
YouTube clip shows the leg/ankle being broken.
Also, if you don't like listening to Ray Hadley's voice then turn the sound off.
