This is becoming increasingly unfortunate.

If Lance has the agenda he claims to have then he needed to be much clearer about who he was criticising, and precisely for what. It just isn't clear from his initial comments that he only meant management, nor is it clear in what ways they allegedly failed to support him.

I'd be interested to know who wrote the first response from the club, as I thought it was a terrible piece of PR. It seemed to appear moments after Hohaia's interview came to light, and the contents reflected that. It was overly emotional, poorly written and ambiguously worded in places. In a situation with possible legal implications you need to be absolutely clear-headed and precise in your use of language. This was quite the opposite, and, given that one of the things the statement kept trying to stress was that the club has the highest professional standards, it rather undermined its own message.

Eamonn's subsequent statement was much more on the money, but I think Lance is right to pick him up on the comment about his degree. Students with severe mental health problems get degrees all the time, usually with the help of a strong support network. The major difference between carrying on with a degree and continuing to play RL, of course, is that by doing a degree you aren't risking getting your head stoved in any further.

I've no idea where this will go, but I don't think either party is covering itself in glory.

Quote: Judder Man "It very much suggests that the RFL guidelines for COG tests on rare incidents (Ben Flower) like these are not suitable for possible brain damage occurrence. Lance didn't play a full impact game until nearly 4 months after the event and if he had any serious concerns he would have retired by then with or without any club medical advice, instead he alone decided to "man up" and play but got concussed in his first competitive game.
.
At the end of the day he didn't have this problem before the grand final and the root clause is Ben Flower who was very close to creating a fatality and a manslaughter charge, that could be in the back of his mind for the rest of his career.
.
We wish Lance well whatever course he takes, no one should go through such downward forced impact on the skull whilst unconscious.'"


Steady! You know this for sure do you? If not I'd be very careful if I was you. Best to keep out and leave them to it. We should stick to the game, and not get too deep in the legalese.

Horrible watching this unfold, but Lance appears to backtrack at the same time as defending himself here.

Quote: Top Saint "Strong stuff from Eamon'"


Too strong; he should have let it die down instead of stoking the flames up. The Club had already made a statement so there was no need for his at all.

Mugwump mocking mental illness for a second time - "You are mentally ill and I can't indulge your madness any more" Utter disgusting abusive remark from a keyboard warrior:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_44308.gif

McManus is right to react and came across very well. Lance is putting the club in a bad light and also super league.
