Judder man very close to a libellous statement saying Flower was close to creating a fatality and manslaughter charge !!!! Read the article his issue is his treatment from Sts and I agree the RFL guidelines re COG tests should be re looked at and maybe use the RU way they stop players from playing like they have with Mike Brown and George North due to concussion.

This could open up a bigger can of worms! when any response is made you have to tread real careful, once it is in the public arena these days that is it!

If Lance has become neurologically impaired because of the incident I think he should look at damages compensation primary with the root cause if proven with Ben Flower and secondary with St Helens RFC for the aftercare. Its accepted by all players that it is a high impact sport with risks, but the last punch was way beyond trying to dress it up within the rules of rugby, it was just common assault and should have been treated as such.
Maybe Lance obviously has had lots of time to think over the matter and wants to go down this route, I,m sure a legal team would be able to create a strong case both primary and secondary.

Goulding pipping up on twitter...not like him is it, honest guv.

He was hardly picked after his head injury anyway was he ?

He shouldn't have been picked before the head injury according to plenty on here.

And hardly was either

Strong stuff from Eamon

Hope Lance has deep pockets, that sounds like he's geeing up for a legal case.

I said last week that this could open a complete "can of worms" the wording from Eamon concerned me, seemed like a quick reactive response, rather than taking time and serious legal guidance? Now Lance has responded again, and if you look at both statements he has some basis. This matter should be resolved outside of the media and quickly.
