Mostly insurances like that have a deferred period - so long-term injuries like Chadwick and Louis-Jean would be covered after a while, but someone with a series of short-term injuries that are unrelated to each other, like Thorne, probably isn't.

        I don't know, you'll have to ask him, get to know him (NCFC) - pants, Feb 28, 13:36:32
        
        or make a judgement based on the number of minor injuries he's had since he signed for us (NCFC) - blindasabat, Feb 28, 13:46:02
        
        my continuing defence isn't admirable to Thorne, it's to the whole team (NCFC) - pants, Feb 28, 14:01:09
        
        but the rest of the team aren't constantly injured (MLJ aside) and so (NCFC) - blindasabat, Feb 28, 14:39:52

        and I was only joking, hence the smiley (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Feb 28, 13:19:22
        
        Yes, but every time an insurance company pays out, premiums go up and up and up... (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Feb 28, 13:11:45
      - They also normally insure (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Feb 28, 13:08:03
