Game day battles Stain

[Frenzy.]

If we are serious about the concussion rules neither bloke should be playing for a month, that was car crash level. It is just footy, that is the brain.

Both failed, so had one.

Glad they ruled out Keary.

It’s as big a farce as the blood bin.

1991

NSWRL Implemented: 1991 NSWRL season.

• A penalty would now be given against a defender guilty of stripping the ball from opponent in possession.[28]
• The interchange rule was introduced, it allowed four players, consisting of up to two fresh reserves and a minimum of two players who had played half a game of the preceding Reserve Grade or President's Cup, unlimited interchanges during a match.[28][41] The rule's main purpose was to reduce the risk of blood-borne diseases being spread but an angry public reaction forced a modification in April.[28][41] The rule changed to allow a total of four players to be available for a maximum of six interchanges during a match.[28][41] Players sent to the ‘blood-bin' would not count among these six interchanges.[28][41] Amended: ARL, 1996.

There are snorkels bleeding all over each other every week. The prevalence of BBVs hasn’t decreased. The treatments are just better. The risk of contraction is the same.

There is blood left on jerseys, bandages, footballs, kicking tees, the field etc. HCV can live outside the body for 3 weeks for example.

Just another joke rule.
