Surely though he cant declare himself fit to play?
If a player breaks their arm and its handing off they cant say "put me in boss" there must be a club element in which they can through duty of care define if a player is fit. I don't know how the insurances work but i would imagine he is insured given the value of the contract but doesn't want to walk away from the deal and the bum fight is around whether or not it can be proven he cant play
Basically this stinks of usual club having people in position out their depth on the boardroom side and we have been taken for a ride.

You can't blame the player. He is maximising his money, it's his job, his livelihood.
However, if true I am lost for words.
In fact I can't believe it's true. Nobody would sign someone without a medical.

If they were daft enough not to then surely they would insert a clause into the contract to deal with the possibility of this happening?

He needs a hip operation so it will be 6 months of a job or never to play again is the likely scenario.

Why has it only just been realised he needs an operation?

This just gets better. Wonder how many (possible games/ actually played) we have had out of our marquee signings since it was introduced. There meant to be the best on the field ours are never on it!

If GB needs a hip op then he's not going to play until it has been done, settled down and been cleared to play by his doctor. If he needs a full hip replacement then I can't see how he could play RL ever again.

6 months?
He wont play next season if it is a hip job he needs.
Ridiculous move by the club to sign this fella in such poor shape.
