Concussion is a very serious issue and to be honest it is time Liam Fulton realises this and probable time to either go to the ESL or retire. This is obviously becoming a cronic issue for him and that is not taking into account not giving the team a fair shake ….a bit of sole searching is required as I expect a considerable amount of time on the side line for him .Maybe it is not to late to make a decision before June 30\. Your health into your latter years is paramount at this stage and I go as far as to say the club should be making this call..
It is time Liam

How would going to ESL help him?…sounds like you are looking for an excuse for the club to offload him....thus your post....
I agree it is a massive concern for Liam that he is continually suffering from concussion in games this year...Liam, the club and his doctors should really sit gown and have a long hard look at this and make the right call for Liam...maybe he needs to give the game away, maybe he needs 6 months off..I dont profess to know the right answer but I hope there is concern in the club to have a long hard discussion with the right people.....it is clear his body is telling him something....I just hope the right call is made....and if it is 100% okay he continue playing I want him in the NRL and plying for us....not the ESL..

In the ESL they might be able to run him a few games a year without the same cap pressure to keep utilising their first graders, but realistically I think Liam Fulton's days playing contact sports are over.

not when it happens in 90% of the game that he has played this season.
could possibly even wear a headgear.
the game is tough but you only have one brain.. they have to live almost half a century with the same head. you gotta take care of it.

from the SMH:
1\. Tigers fuming
Wests Tigers chief executive Grant Mayer has taken the extraordinary step of phoning the NRL’s head of football, Todd Greenberg, after a game to complain about a rival player, Newcastle prop David Fa’alogo. Mayer believes Fa’alogo attacked the head of Tigers second-rower Liam Fulton, who has a history of concussion.
‘‘It’s this guy’s fourth concussion this year and obviously it’s a concern for the club,’’ Mayer said on Sunday. ‘‘We’ve looked at the tape and we believe there is something for the NRL to look at. We’ve said all year we take this sort of thing very seriously. We’d like to think the NRL will have a look tomorrow and the appropriate action is taken.’

Yes, he punched out Taylor, earning himself an immediate release from Souths and a ticket to England for the next four years.

i've been worried about this with liam for a while. it not just this year either, been happening a bit too often in recent years.
hope he thinks of himself and family going forward not just about the team.

Because apparently headgear is almost useless.
As some other people have shown, the studies on the NFL players show the damage that is done with contact sports like ours, and even though they wear proper helmets, the NRL might be tougher still.

Today on the foxsports website they are reporting that…..
"THE Wests Tigers have made the hardline call to rule concussion victim Liam Fulton out for the rest of the season.
You won’t catch anyone at the Tigers officially confirming as much but we’ve been told after four concussions in seven weeks, the decision has been made in the best interests of Fulton’s welfare. Fulton was in Melbourne earlier this week for brain scans."
