Heartbreaking reading. His description is consistent with a suspected link between TBIs/CTE and bipolar disorder (or similar presentations, at least). I truly help he’s getting all the support he needs and more.

I don't know where you go from there with suspected CTE. Doesn't sound very livable.

Truly amazing how little proof reading they do on fox sports. Every article has errors.

Warrior player who squeezed everything from his talent. Pushed by the Sharks no doubt for the medical retirement and get some cap space. He'll be looked after.

Who in Aus Rugby would be on a watch list for this sort of thing? Anyone know how McCabe and Anthony Fainga'a are going?

Fainga'a had very serious issues if I recall correctly.

Yeah, he became a financial advisor which is really rough to hear.

Michael Lipman is doing it tough.

This was from a few years ago now.

Michael Lipman: 'If I knew then what I know now, I'd have been a lot more careful'

Former Rugby Union Australian Schoolboy Luke Keary will be retiring from the Roosters at the end of the year after too many head knocks.

Seems like some of the risks are starting to happen at pro level rugby league in this space

A timely reminder of how badly things can turn out:

Beachlands Maraetai Rugby Club player Cory Heather dies following Auckland game injury​

Accidental knee to the head, apparently.
