Quote: wrencat1873 "Really ??
What effect do you think making 40+ tackles a game has in relation to contact with the head.

Incidentally, you mention 44 former RL players suing the sport.
Are they suing RL or RU and what position did they play in both sports.

Half backs need speed, agility and balance, plus ball skills and reading of the game.
The height of the player makes relatively little difference.

Do you want your 6ft player (I'm assuming that you didn't mean 6 inches Indeed 6' icon_smile.gif
Not sure which positions. They are suing RL I think. Look at the halves in the NRL, 5'10" is the shortest I can find, vast majority are 6' plus. Luke Brooks hasn't come on due to his lack of height IMO, compare him with M Moses.

Quote: Donnyman "icon_lol.gif What do you find funny? People have had brain damage due to RL. I think R Burrow's MND has come on earlier due to rugby. We have to protect the brain's of players during training, I think they've been rattling around too often. Haven't you been reading and listening to the evidence?

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??
