So getting serious on concussions is now a jealousy thing? FMD

are you saying that you know for a fact that the Storm faked or got wrong papas hia test? That’s a pretty strong accusation against the clubs Dr.’s competency or integrity.

So no intent to commit a foul, then. Thanks
The fact that he came straight back on has raised legitimate questions.
How is it not a dive?

Watching replays, the way Munster flopped to the ground was exactly as a player would fall if knocked out, before hitting the ground. Referee absolutely took this into consideration to sinbin Radley. Then, within minutes Munster is bouncing around on the sideline to return to the field. That is diving 101.

You guys are cooked if you don't think they shot deserved a binning.

How badly he was injured is completely irrelevant.

Your arrogance and entitlement is showing.

PS f**k the Storm.

red cards for intent , yellow cards for reckless and careless, which it was.

Munster wasn’t taken off for concussion, he was taken off as the new rule says he has to go to sideline if the play gets stopped due to a player unable to play the ball and game has to be stopped.

If Munster doesn't do such a wonderful dive it's probably a penalty. You see ten high shots a game comparable to that one which result in a penalty or get completely missed. Diving is a blight on the game but feel free to call it gamesmanship if you want?

Pull your head out of your arse if you think you see ten shots a game as bad as the Radley one.

Have they handed out the citations yet? He'll get a week or two for sure.

Let's see, a player laying motionless on the ground somehow makes a very quick recovery.
Doesn't that raise any suspicions with you?
Gamesmanship??? just call it playing the ref, its become soccer rules now

Meh. Don’t think it changed the result, but it is clear negligence by Melbourne.

Not saying that none of them were concussed, but they showed last night they have a win first attitude and will put players in risk to get it done.

May come back to bite then in the long run.

Hate Melb/Munster but there was no rort there.

That’s a sin bin regardless, if the player goes down or not.

Munster had to go off the field because of the new “anti-dive” rule, he was ok to play on from the get go.

Fair enough Sharman but did you see enough there to suggest the anti-dive rule won’t be exploited?

Mate I couldn't care less what HIA paps passed. He was out before he hit the ground, took another heavy knock when hitting the ground and was convulsing for 90 seconds.

Given what we now know of concussions storm were completely negligent to send him back on. I would have been filthy if one of our players was sent back on after that incident.

Leaving aside Munster, that had nothing to do with concussion and hia’s, question is does papa pass the hia and should grant have been taken off earlier? on,y the dr and papa know the former and no doubt the nrl will consider the latter given bulldogs fine last week.

Something benefitting the Storm, no surprise .Kaufusi back playing, no sin bin for a bad and intentional head slam. Player knocked out still not returned, but hey presto, they change the rule and off goes a player in a game agst Storm.

Guess good management re rules always wins.
