It's more in hope, there are 44 former RL players currently suing the sport over neglect in not protecting their brains sufficiently, I wouldn't pick a player under 6" to play in the halves, taking the ball to the line. Short players should only be considered for the No.9 role from now on IMO, it would be a dereliction of duty by the coach to put him anywhere else, unless he's Cooper Cronk or Andrew Johns, so obviously I'm talking about the exceptions, so the top 1% of the top 1%. Eastmond is good but, one he's shorter than Cronk and he's not as good in any case.

nice one...........

I think Donnyman is laughing at you saying don`t play anyone under 6 inches in the halves and certainly don`t think he is laughing at someone who can get brain damage.

Thanks for that. I'm not even laughing at Mr. Welsh, just the slip of the Tongue.

I don't think that six footers only going in the halves will work. There are some small guys who haven't had any great head problems and there's tall lads that have like Stevie Ward. Do I have the answer? NO but does anyone in either Rugby code or in soccer have the answer.

How's boxing getting on with the issue? Should sport be the only target of accident reduction? let's bring all speed limits down by 10 MPH??
