Quote: GUBRATS "If you insert the ' could ' word into RL with regards serious injury , you might as well outlaw the sport now , everybody walking onto a pitch knows he could get seriously injured , it's the ones who go onto the pitch happy to injure I worry about , and who we need to get rid of'"
Absolutely the game is tough enough- and yes any player Could potentially be injured- so why would any player grab another who had appeared to sustain a head injury in that manner - But Greg bird was "sparked out" on the floor as far as Acton was concerned. Watching on tv it appeared that way to me.
What ifs is exactly what should be looked at - the welfare of players should be absolutely paramount- yes they are paid- bu they do it for entertainment!
