[QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2770759, member: 8215"] First thing I thought reading that too. I must say I agree with QBE though. Reportedly that knee was fucked before he left the Sea Eagles. A hard knock may have finished it off but arguably without the pre-existing condition the knock would not have been career-ending. It is a very difficult line to identify though. If a player has to retire in their early 20's because of injuries, you'd say it was a premature retirement. But they're often the same injuries that players eventually succumb to late in their carreer. There wouldn't be one over 30 that doesn't have rooted shoulders or knees. And you can't use their contract position to determine a "premature" retirement. You'd have players signing 5 year contracts at the age of 34, retiring "due to injury" and have the rest of their contracts paid out by insurance and not counted in the salary cap. EDIT: The ones I'd consider genuine would be McKinnon, JYY, Dwyer, Tuiaki. Off the top of my head. [/QUOTE]
