Paul Kent said last night the nfl owners voted to have independent spotters at the games to look for signs of concussion from players on the field.

Wobbly legs like Reynolds had should be enough to keep a player off for the rest of the game imo otherwise piss the rule off cause its just dumb that someone can get knocked out and 10 minutes later be cleared for showing no signs of concussion. If the nrl wants to do it than do it properly or they will just end up looking stupid.

actually the cowboys winning streak over you guys in the NRL is 684 days long and counting....

will hit 700 before you get a chance to end it..

and if you don't, there is a very real chance that streak could stretch to be over 1,000 days long...


yep... nothing says 'destroying' a team like a losing streak against them that stretches into the 4 digits.....

I see you have the same attitude to this as your club (and other clubs for that matter).

F*ck the players and their welfare - get back onto the field and win me 2 competition points!!

As if any doctor worth his salt could not tell Reynolds was concussed. Then the coach comes out all indignant about it. :roll:

Independent doctors thanks very much.

Are you a qualified medical practitioner experienced in diagnosing head injuries? How about completing SCAT3 tests? Didn't think so.

We have seen dozens of players go back on since the rule was introduced. And plenty on the following weekend that nobody has bothered concerning themselves about. It's only become an issue when Souths did it. You think if it happened in Origin and Reynolds turned in a match winning performance after coming back on there would be weeks of whingeing and questioning the integrity of qualified medical practitioners? No

Bullshit, its been an issue since the rule was brought in, hence the fines and the other crap. It was an issue last week for Parra as well. Its not just journos and fans doing this, its doctors questioning other doctors so shutup with you "questioning the integrity of qualified medical practitioners" because you are doing exactly that by dismissing the Roosters doctors advise.
