Parramatta greats could face legal action
Lawyers acting for ex-Parramatta player Brett Horsnell could launch legal action against the club’s former directors, among them some of the biggest names in Eels’ history.
Horsnell has commenced legal action in the NSW Supreme Court over claims his health problems in retirement stem from a series of head knocks over the course of his decade-long career.
His legal team has pinpointed more than 50 incidents during his time at Parramatta, the Gold Coast and South Queensland which they believe could have impacted on his existing health problems.
The parties were in court again earlier this week as Horsnell’s lawyers pushed ahead with attempts to identify the Eels’ insurers during the period when he played for the club. Having failed to make any headway, it is understood they will now investigate the option of taking legal action against the individual directors of the Parramatta District Rugby League Club, which was in charge of the NRL side when Horsnell was at the Eels. That body is now in the hands of liquidators, with the NRL side under the umbrella of the Parramatta Leagues Club. When the Parramatta District Rugby League Club was wound up, their directors included club icons Ray Price and Eric Grothe as well as former chairman Steve Sharp.
It is unclear whether the lawyers would target the club’s final directors or those who were at the helm when Horsnell spent two years at the Eels.
They could potentially pursue both sets of directors as they attempt to gain some clarity around the club’s insurance details. It is understood Certus Legal Group have identified a series of incidents which could have contributed to Horsnell’s health problems — a Gold Coast neurologist has confirmed he is almost certainty suffering from chronic traumatic encephalopathy, the degenerative brain disease that led to a billion-dollar class action against the NFL in the US.
The Australian has obtained video of at least six head knocks Hornsell suffered during his time at the Gold Coast, South Queensland and Parramatta.
