Message: [QUOTE="LittleDavey, post: 3263325, member: 8255"] I've got to admit that while I agree it's coming, I don't understand, legally, what legs a potential case would have. I know there's duty of care etc, but these blokes knowingly enter (and remain in) an occupation where there is a risk of head damage. If you don't want to take the risk, don't play the game. Or take other mitigating steps - headgear etc. Why should the game have to 'protect' players if the player themselves aren't taking every step possible to remove the potential for damage? Surely by not wearing headgear, for example, they are contributing to the situation and any future damage? If they've played league their whole life, who are they going to target their case at? The NRL? Their club/former club? Who's to say the damage wasn't caused through a lifetime of the sport, do they go after their childhood club? The QRL/NSWRL? All of the above? [/QUOTE]
