They said he had an "undisclosed" neurodegenerative condition & didn't elaborate....not what I'd call full disclosure.
Fair point, but there is a situation where weaker guys are being buffeted around when trying to tackle stronger ones (Wishart looks pretty strong) and then players get in bad positions, and that's made worse with ever larger, faster and more mobile players.
That's exactly what I mean. On both occasions the attacker got into a bad position as much if not more so than the smaller defender left flailing.
Think what you want - the point is he dogged it after saying it wasn't going to affect him. All he had to do at the presser was say that he wouldn't be answering any questions about his health and personal situation and if they asked him questions about it he could just get up and leave. He has been fronting up to pressers for every other game and i'm sure his health wasn't that good. But suddenly when they have performed the worst start in their history he doesn't front up. I have sympathy for his personal situation and he probably needs to walk away from the game if its going to affect his performance.
He wouldn’t have turned up even if they had won.
Yes and they are all different to how it may impact his role as a coach and how it progresses and his general prognosis. Could even be influenced by CTE.
