[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1013038, member: 73144"] That is precisely what happened to me. Totally sparko and was still seeing double 6 months later. Took a couple of years off. Listening to Alix Popham on the radio this morning his issues sounded like they came more from the cumulative effect of lots of contacts rather than through major knock outs. Very keen to see the amount of contact training reduced. The whole clearing out at rucks where opponents are targeted by 18 stone flying missions need sorting out though. In the good old days players would wade in with their feet, but the target was usually the ball with a bit of opponent being a bonus. The head, groin and joints were always a no no, but anything else was fair game. While a bit of shoe pie used to deter little Johnny’s mum, the consequences - even joint damage or breaks - are trivial compared to head injuries. [/QUOTE]
