Employment law is a whole different thing, just signing a disclaimer isn’t going to cut the mustard i’m afraid. This class action (and possible individual claims to follow) really does have the potential to change the game as we know it if successful. And whatever the outcome i should imagine the the insurance premiums are going to sky rocket to become eye-watering levels.

That's a fair point.

This is not about employment law though as they are not trying to sue their employers ( the clubs ) but the RFL.

The RFL have assets of less than a million pounds so unless the RFL have an insurance policy then the ex-players won't be getting a lot between them. It is a sad position but how do they prove their illnesses have come about by playing a sport they all freely choose to do.
