There is a neuropsychological test available, but it's not just all about the brain.
The brain health sort of grabs the headlines, but...
I know, speaking to other players, that they've got shoulder issues, elbow issues, knee issues, hip issues that don't become symptomatic for many years later.
And then it becomes that, well, I need to deal with the pain.
And footballers are different because we've had that life of living on the edge as a pro athlete and...
Maybe they sugar it off.
Maybe they push through.
Maybe they self-medicate.
So it's a free screening service made available to all former NRL players and NRLW players.
You only have to play one game.
So I encourage anybody out there that knows anybody, I think we can put the link in the show notes.
Is that all right, Jordan?
I think that...
Yeah, there's two ways to contact the NRL.
I think over 50 players or former players have signed up already.
So I can't encourage you enough, if you know anyone or you're listening as a former player, get it done.
I'm very proud of the game for having this initiative.
It's a free of cost screening service.
So yeah, I think it's fantastic that the game are providing this service to say you're an NRL player for life.
Good on you.
