That's awful.
I don't think you can get better from that. Only manage it.

It is awful and no doubt he will have CTE but it can’t be diagnosed 100% til after death and the brain can be examined. At best it can be diagnosed as probable CTE, nit picking a bit but just trying to be factual

I would be surprised if there isn’t a large percentage of Rugby League players who have probable CTE to one degree or another.

Frightening!
Next time you’re complaining about the changes to tackle laws or what you see as ‘soft penalties’ for little to no head contact, you should read and remember this article.

Thats correct, however, there are now PET scans which can detect abnormal brain tissue patterns associated with CTE in living individuals.

As my post above explains, but even with these scans it’s only ‘probable CTE’
