OFFICIAL Liam Fulton [Discussion]

[Winnipeg]

It's a worry, and I'm sure Liam has it on his mind

But I don't think this thread would exist if it were Farah or another key player who was constantly getting knocked out.

It's only time for Fulton to go because we are flush for second rowers right?

No. Its because it is a serious long term issue for players who have repeat concussions.

Anasta didn't look good either, add him to the list

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.’

It'll be interesting to hear the response from Greenberg into this matter . Fa'alogo has always been a dirty player IMO . Wasn't he the one who smashed anasta when he played for souths ?
And didn't he put one on Jason Taylor on mad Monday ?

It seems even Wests Tigers have missed Gids kneeing Rowdy in the back…might as well mention that while youre at it Grant.

Probably a better way of doing this than having Potter bring it up at the press conference, I believe funds are tight right now at WTs

I'd have preferred if this didnt reach the media, glad theyre being pro active about it somewhat.

 

[southerntiger]

It was quite a thuggish performance fron Newcastle yesterday.

Surprising because they actually have a decent squad through 1-17\. They should have won more than 2 games this year.

Play football Wayne.

Mullen's long kicking game was excellent yesterday.

:stuck_out_tongue: perhaps Liam should be made wear head gear?

Headgear does nothing to prevent concussion, it is only useful for helping to prevent cuts and abrasions.

 

[tig_prmz]

should also show the one where DCE smashes his knee onto liam's face on purpose.

QLD grubs

Here's a clip of the incident if anyones interested in seeing it or missed it.

That was quite nasty and totally uncalled for. It's not as if Liam likes to give any stick. He's one of the cleaner players in the game. I hope the perpetrator gets a few weeks for that one.

 

[westTAHger]

would not be surprised if the ref's are told to keep any eye on Liam during the remainder of this seasons games.

can see a time coming, during the games this season, after being involved in a heavy tackle, when the ref's are going to ask him if he is alright, and if they are concerned they will signal to the bench.

i know it may sound a bit over the top, but stranger things have happened.

 

[Goose]

that is a shocker….very deliberate nad cheap.

 

[innsaneink]

Waste of time
NRL do nothing

 

[hobbo]

Your right ink fa'alogo has avoided a charge by the NRL match committee for his hit on Fulton .

[tig_prmz]

punched anasta when he was on the floor as well

feel sorry for anasta at times. he's a safe player who seems to try hard and produces good play when necessary. he cops soo much crap from everyone calling him overrated.
