Reardon in League Express. : Mon May 11, 2009 12:52 pm  

Seems as though Mr Reardon is looking for compensation from the Warrington club for releasing him.

"Im dissapointed with how it ended at Warrington because i enjoyed playing there, I've had some bad injuries and then with what happened in my personal life they decided to release me."
"Im part of the players association so I've spoken to them about possible legal action, there dealing with it now and speaking to Warrington so it's in their hands."

Surely he's fighting a losing battle with this one

The club will have looked into the legalities of this before getting rid

The club have at least two points on their side.

1. If a player is injured for long term and has played a low number of games in that year, under an RFL rule you can release the player.

2. He pleaded guilty to assault, the club can say that it's not good for the image of the club or the other players.

He probably feels hard done to when he sees Cockyene and Pryce still in their jobs.

but added to the fact Hull released him because of his injury then i'm not sure what he's going to base his argument on.

Been told his claim against Warrington is to do with the medical treatment he got from the club or feels he didnt get.

The club dont give actual "medical treatment " to injured players, they will be referred to specialist doctors/surgeons etc, that deal in their type of specific injury. Following any surgery, the club will however be responsible for directly following the Surgeons guidelines, with regards to the rehabilitation of the injured part of the players body. As long as the club have followed the surgeons guidelines/instructions, i wouldnt have thought that mr Reardon would have a claim against the club, unless he can prove, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that any neglect has taken place on the clubs behalf.
Oh, add to that, that mr Reardon also has a responsibility "himself" with regards to his recovery, by following the Doctors/surgeons guidelines/instructions to the letter. (Wonder if kicking doors in was part of the rehabilitation guidelines)??
