Silverlight Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Hall Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 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. http://www.alldesignandprint.co.uk Printing & Graphic Design with Nationwide Service Programmes | Leaflets | Cards | Banners & Flags | Letterheads | Tickets | Magazines | Folders | Brand Identity plus much more Official Matchday Programme Print & Design Partner to York City Knights, Heworth ARLFC, York Acorn RLFC & Hunslet RLFC Official Player Sponsor of Marcus Stock for the 2020 Season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
