3 years ago i was involved in a building accident where a roof purling fell from it's housing and crushed the front of my skull, splitting my brain lining and damaging my frontal lobe of the brain i spent most of my time in a hospital bead in LGI laying flat on my back. i am now at home after recovering from meningitis, but i am still laying in bead as it is impossible for my wife to cope whilst i am un well.
i spend my time either watching TV or having a bit of banter with fans from various forums in a few months time i will be retuning to my second home to have a bone reconstruction to my scull, all my typing is done whilst i am flat on my back, so have more to worry about than a few spelling mistakes or wrong gamer.

That is terrible and you have my sympathies and well wishes.
And people would do well to pay heed your tale when defending the Rangi Chase incident (or other where players receive a blow to the head). The Brain is very precious and very fragile. I like to see a big hit but there is a price not worth paying and players have a duty of care to avoid the opponent's head at all costs.
The RFL need to be very careful. In the NFL the league is very concerned about law suits they're receiving from ex players who suffered multiple concussions. Concussions can have serious effects for players, not just now but later in life. The league have a duty of care to protect it's players and I don't think a two match ban (or a 4 match ban for the Catalan player) send out the correct message.
