OFFICIAL Liam Fulton [Discussion]

Has the actual injury for Liam being out for 1 month been released ?

I 'm tending to read between the lines here and the training/medical staff are giving him more time to get over the " head knocks" he has already endured this season.

I suspect they NRL are watching him like a hawk, each time he plays, and eventually will step in and say" **no more, that's enough for you Liam"** so they won't find themselves liable for not providing a duty of care.

Seems that we are both cynical.

Only yesterday I was thinking the same thing and even contemplating that he may have played his final game already.
 
These new cognitive tests are taken very seriously

If Liam couldn't pass them , he wouldn't be able to play

If the NRL stepped in above these tests and tried to prevent Fulton from playing they would have a legal battle on their hands from both the Tigers and Fulton I would imagine
 
Sorry to say Liam i wish you would consider retirement, mate you have had so many head knocks this season your body might be telling you something, i and many on this forum would not like to see you with any sort of permanent damage you have been a great tiger so please think about it. I say this with a heavy heart.
 
Retirement is the first thought i had when i heard he's concussed again.

I doubt he will even entertain the idea but Shaun Valentine may need to give him a call.
 
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..

I don't think going over and playing super league will be good for him to be honest. Just as easy to get concussed there as well. Time to think of his family and give it away altogether I think.

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..

I actually logged on specifically to say the same thing. These days people have become well aware of the cumulative effects of repeated head taumas (concussions) and in Liam's case I get the thought: there's more to life than playing rugby league.

Unless there is a 100% guaranteed to protect from concussion helmet, I wouldn't like to see him playing any more.

I think it will be. It seems the most sensible thing that if he won't step aside himself, the tigers should make him.
 
It really is becoming a serious concern for Fulton this year. In all seriousness, he does need to put his family first and he does have business ventures outside the game so he will survive.
 
We can not risk picking him again this season. With these new concussion rules we are down to 16 every time he takes the field in 2014\. If we had a free 18th man then fine send him out there an hope for the best.

I feel very sorry for him. However the decisions needs to be taken out of his hands. Stand him down for the rest of the season or get through a few games in the reserves.

He has been a great servant, but it seems his time has come to an end. He needs to look after himself.
 
Liam you have been a great servant to this club, but you have to look after yourself and your family. Time to give it away mate.
 
its blown out of proposion coz of the concussion rule which is stupid.

Dallas Johnson and Simon Gillis Geoff Toovery imagine these 2 guys under the rule they would hardly play a game
