Statement on Saints website is abrupt to say the least.

Yes it is. Doesn't seem like it was a medical decision. The wording is very careful, inferring that Hohaia approached the club with his decision and the club accepted it. It seems he wasn't happy with not playing and has asked to leave early. |

No doubt Kurt Gidley will be his replacement.

First shafted by SKD and now Lance has jumped ship.
No doubt all the Saints fans will be calling for expensive, unrealistic foreign replacements.

Lance Hohaia retires because of 'recurrent concussion symptoms'
By Kieran Fox
BBC News
St Helens half-back Lance Hohaia says he is retiring from rugby league because of "recurrent post-match concussion-type symptoms".

I wonder if any specific high profile incident has played its part? |

Without trying to jump to conclusions he has played a lot of rugby in his life and we know that each tackle is like a small car crash. Its a wonder more players don't suffer with similar symptoms to what has been briefly mentioned.
Its easy to get on the Flower bandwagon here (personally I think a ban served through the off season is a joke) but at this point we just don't know the actual cause.

Best wishes for a healthy retirement, and it's good to see (albeit belatedly) a wider discussion about how to deal with head injuries in the sport taking place over the last 6-12 months or so.

I'm thinking of a very modestly dressed 19th century novelist with one middle finger raised and a can of Budweiser in the other hand.
Possibly that, or a gif of her "stunning" Ann Radcliffe.

Oh, and good luck in retirement to Lance Hohaia, obviously. Probably not the way you imagine your career ending, but health comes first.

sad news,
hopefully cause a reassessment of how we deal with head injuries and what causes them.
Some things I would like to see us do.
High tackles = automatic 5 mins in the bin
punching = automatic sub off (i.e perpetrator can be subbed off, but can no longer take part in the game) for anyone who punches.
independent concussion assessments, free forced sub for any concussed player
movement to 8 substitutions from 5 subs (plus any free subs)
bigger squads so we can enforce at least a 7 day rest period after a concussion.
