South Sydney prop Liam Knight has opened up about his concussion issues, admitting that he hid symptoms and continued to train for two months before finally coming clean.<\/p>\n
"I tried to train through the pain but the more I trained the worse the migraines became \u2013 it was like it was stuck on repeat for weeks," Knight told The Sydney Morning Herald<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n "It was my fault because I kept training thinking I'd be OK and didn't say anything to anybody about the symptoms. I finally told the boys when it all became too much last week."<\/p>\n 26-year-old Knight, who Souths signed from Canberra in 2019, has grown into a key member of the Bunnies' middle rotation.<\/p>\n Originally, Knight thought he would only miss the Charity Shield after a head clash with teammate Thomas Burgess at training, but the issue has continued to fester.<\/p>\n "I haven't trained in a week. I can't even lift weights. I just don't feel right and feel fuzzy. I'd start training and I'd be fine, but the headaches would start afterwards," he said.<\/p>\n "It's now up to me when I train again. I'm waiting to be symptom free. I was putting pressure on myself to get back, but the club were like, 'relax', and told me not to rush.<\/p>\n "It's been an awful time to be honest. It's actually been a f—ing nightmare. All I want to do is train and play."<\/p>\n The news about Knight comes just two days after Sydney Roosters skipper Jake Friend officially announced his retirement from NRL due to concussion concerns<\/a>.<\/p>\n
