Ed Smith


Silverlight

Recommended Posts

I was surprised to read in the Press last week that Ed Smith was still awaiting an operation on his ruptured cruciate ligament. I had  assumed he would have had an operation shortly after sustaining his injury and would be available to start training for the 2018 season. Instead we learn he will miss the bulk of the season. I would have thought that the Club would have had him insured for medical treatment enabling rapid attention.

Totally agree appointment should have been made straightaway.

The cost of insuring the players for injury and private operations is probably about the same cost as the entire playing budget. I'd be surprised if any club that isn't full-time insures all its players.

Personally, if I was playing part-time RL I'd insure myself, but I imaging even the cost of doing it personally would be quite prohibitive.

The RFL, players and agents should set up some sort of players union that also assists with private medical care, but they won't.
