I truly cannot think of a worse advocate for this case than Bobby Goulding. And this idea that someone like him is thinking about the welfare of other players is derisory. |

| Quote 100% Warrior="100% Warrior"Get what you’re saying but does my employer owe me a duty or care when I retire after the best part of 40years toil? There’s also a link to retirement in general and MH issues, where do we draw the line? If it’s a ‘journeyman’ player which club owes that duty of care?
For me our clubs should support players coming up to retirement, get them ready for it and prepared for it. Speak to retired players who had it good and bad. It’s hardly a secret that you must work on after playing pro RL, it’s hardly a secret that the money just isn’t there to sustain a player for life. BG has peed away all his money on drugs and alcohol with the occasional scrap to boot and now wants to blame the game for his own downfall which he alone caused?'"
Point 1 is a tricky one as you point out and its support I was meaning to get back to normal life not financial. I do think that elite sports people are left with a huge void once they've retired that they struggle to deal with not just in rugby league.
There are other players in the case and possibly more may come forward would we be more sympathetic if Bobby Goulding was not one of them ? Not a perticularly nice chap but let's not dismiss everyone's claim because we don't like one of them as a person ? |

Get a grip !! There's only one person who has a valid claim to sue a player over a punch to the head n that's Lance hohia.
It's quite disappointing that the rugby league community has generally stood by players who have become ill Steve Prescott Rob burrow mike Gregory (except Wigan rlfc) yet your letting your dislike of a player downplay the severity of the injuries or even worse implying he deserves them !! Very sad |

Your have safe lifting courses etc to minimise risk of injury what did rugby league players have before hia and concussion protocols ? |

What's even sadder (but probably makes sense) is that we're being lectured for expressing doubts about the genuineness of a player who spent much of his career hitting other players in the head by a fan who proudly wears a moniker celebrating another player for doing exactly the same thing.  |

the same Lance who elbowed someone first and played games after that? The same one? Adrian Morleys knocked by Cassidy was far worse as was Newtons on Long |

Agreed.
That was about the 50th concussion of Lance's career. |

You can’t say that on here. Pretty much every Wigan fan on here thought Hohia deserved it and were up in arms that flower got sent off. I |
