I know he didn't have the best of times with us but he's been diagnosed with CTE. Just the tip of the iceberg I expect and lots of former and current players will have the same, either diagnosed or not https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/former-hull-fc-player-confirms-9447711 The is the condition that has brought concussions to the fore in contact sports. For anyone who hasn't seen it, try and find a way to watch Concussion, a movie about how the NFL tried to cover up brain injuries and the resultant damage. Difficult subject matter but something worth watching and a reminder of what players put themselves through

Good luck to the lad. A few on here give him a hard time without knowing the full facts.

Wishing you all the best for the future Josh!

It was hiding behind Covid that fans gave him a hard time not this

Exactly. He was peddling the Long Covid excuse, then lo and behold, he returns to training the day after we were seriously linked to Ian Watson and he thought he would be coming. The players went against him from that day

Sorry to hear this. I hope he gets the support he needs and I wish him and his family well for the future.

Difficult subject matter but something worth watching and a reminder of what players put themselves through I watched this not so long back. It was a compelling and shocking watch in equal measures. It was scary how the Dr who discovered and termed the illness was treat with such disdain as opposed to being celebrated for evidencing persistent brain-shake can have fatal consequences.
