Hunter New England Health and NSW Rugby League confirmed late on Wednesday afternoon that Dark remains in a critical condition at John Hunter Hospital.
It is believed the former Knights junior representative, who hails from the Mid North Coast and is cousins with Sydney Roosters captain Boyd Cordner, had a seizure shortly after a head knock. He has since undergone surgery.
As of Wednesday (8pm) an online GoFundMe campaign, established by family friends, had raised over $95,000 from almost 900 donations.
Fittler, Tedesco, Butterfield, David Hosking, Josh Starling, Russell Packer, Cory Denniss and Drew Mitchell have all chipped in along with teammates, opponents, local businesses, Central Leagues Club as well as Old Bar Pirates seniors, juniors and touch football.
* WESTS have been awarded the competition points from Sunday's encounter, having led Central 10-6 when play was abandoned midway through the second half.
* AN UNDER-19 catch-up game between Central and Maitland set down for Wednesday night didn't go ahead. The men's tier two fixture between the Butcher Boys and Kurri Kurri this weekend has been postponed. Central's other grades have the bye.
