I've always be interested as to what happens to players sidelined in the professional era.

Besides the fact he was cleared to play further ,what of the fact he's employed in a dangerous job and position.

This suit unlike most has some real merit. He was incorrectly diagnosed and continued playing with a life threatening injury. At a minimum the Bools and other teams ought to have some workers compensation insurance that covers cases like this. It's a professional game and players should have professional level benefits.

Back in the day Nick Mallett said that Krynauw Otto was a wuss for complaining about headaches and told him to get back onto the training field and then...... “He retired at the age of 28 after medical examinations revealed a subdural haematoma in the left frontal area of his brain, incurred during a match against Australia national rugby union team.[1][2]“
