Yea strange that the wording was “banned from playing in France”. Does that mean he could perhaps play elsewhere? Medical issues would all come under one umbrella surely

I guess that the French union can only issue such a ban for their jurisdication but if it is a serious matter then I suspect other unions would follow suit. That said, Eriksen can play football in the premier league but his heart condition prevents him playing in Italy so not the same across the board.

Something to do with medical insurance isn't it? Didn't Figallo join Sarries after being told he'd have to retire in France or is my memory failing?GB72 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 05, 2022 2:47 pmI guess that the French union can only issue such a ban for their jurisdication but if it is a serious matter then I suspect other unions would follow suit.

Think someone said Max Lahiff was banned from representing a French club due to a medical insurance thing, yet plays fine over here.
We'll see if he retires or moves elsewhere

That confused me as well. Glad he is able to play again but if he has been symptom free for 8 months, why have we not seen him in a Tigers shirt since Xmas.Darc Tiger wrote: ↑Tue Sep 06, 2022 2:40 pm The Bulls pick up van Staden.

Apparently it might be insurance related?
Re: Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2022
That’s a good point!

In as much that the premiums would be high and thus eat into our budget etc?
