Knights sued

-

Former New South Wales State of Origin winger James McManus is taking legal action against the Newcastle Knights over the NRL club’s handling of the concussion­s that led to his retirement. Fairfax media report that the case, which begins with a directions hearing in the Supreme Court next month could result in more actions being taken against sporting clubs and bodies for negligence. McManus made all his 166 NRL appearance­s for the Knights but his career came to a premature halt after suffering the last in a series of concussion­s in July, 2015.
