[QUOTE="Kaz, post: 2676849, member: 1843"] Alex McKinnon is weighing up legal advice to sue the Melbourne Storm and the NRL following the tackle which left the 23-year-old in a wheelchair. Fairfax Media has learnt McKinnon has engaged a Sydney-based law firm to explore his rights after the tackle by the Storm's Jordan McLean ended his NRL career prematurely. It is understood the legal advice indicates that McKinnon has a strong potential case for taking action against the Storm and the NRL. Despite the recommendation, McKinnon is reportedly hesitant to start action as he is mindful of the support he has received from the NRL and the wider rugby league community since the injury. McKinnon did not wish to comment when contacted by Fairfax Media on Wednesday night. It is thought McLean would not be personally liable for the tackle, but his club could come under the microscope. McLean was suspended for seven games for a dangerous throw. McKinnon's legal team will point to a case involving former Wests Tigers forward Jarrod McCracken, who was awarded $97,000 in 2006 after suing the Melbourne Storm and two players he claimed cut short his career with a spear tackle. In this case, McCracken's career was ended after he injured his neck and spine after a tackle by Stephen Kearney and Marcus Bai.

I knew this would come to suing. Just surprised it took so long. [/QUOTE]
