Player Eliesa Katoa

Eli Katoa could very well be one of them and he'll have all the evidence to sue off the back of it.

His current employer was Tonga Rugby League? So good luck sueing and getting anything from them…

While the NRL has a big say in internationals they don’t actually have any legal authority. He would have insurance in the short term but cover for CTE based on this event would be very complex..

Who's the governing body for this fixture then? IRL? Whoever it is has a duty of care

The hardest part would be proving you actually have CTE, as far as I'm aware the only way they're able to officially diagnose it is when they dissect the brain after death.

The causation part would be piss easy as far as civil cases go.

There gonna be so many players with CTE in 30 years time.

They will all have CTE to various degrees. How many professional players of a contact sport die peacefully in their sleep in their 90s?

We are facing the same thing with overpressure blasts from firing munitions in Defence. The mechanism of injury is no longer being contested.
