Sidelined Leeds Rhinos forward Morgan Gannon has given a first insight into his year-long layoff and why he expects to come back bigger and stronger.
Gannon missed the 2022 Betfred Super League Grand Final after being concussed in Leeds’ play-off win at Catalans Dragons. He had a long spell on the sidelines with a similar issue last year and then failed head injury assessments during both his warm-up matches for the current campaign, in December and February. In May Rhinos confirmed the second-rower will not play a competitive game this year, though he is training with the team.
I played 11 games last year so I had some time then to do some work on the physical stuff and hopefully in the long run I will reap the rewards of this rest now.” He added: “I am symptom-free, I’ve not had any issues with this most recent concussion. It’s just the fact they don’t want me to be exposed to another one within this six months. The only way they can monitor that is by restricting my contact.
