Isn't there a maximum number of concussions you're allowed to take in your career before medical advice says enough? I seem to remember seeing something about it

| Quote REDEOD="REDEOD"This point was mentioned on the blunderside commentary. The long term Impact of these head knocks on the health of the players is known to be severe. I’m not sure if the game has changed and we are seeing more head injuries as a result or if the fact that the concerns are so prevalent they become much more highlighted.
But apparently players have to be given the ok to play by a neurologist, which suggests the safeguard responsibility is taken away from the club and given to an independent individual which is the correct way imo.'"
I think the legal ramifications of the NFL stuff in the US has got all sports concerned that if they don't ensure that players are not looked after then they will be sued.
The concussions in the past were not as heavily focussed on, but there are players such as Ian Roberts in Australia who are associating the lack of player care with brain damage.
Nowadays the clubs, governing bodies, their lawyers and insurers are all terrified of legal action. If players consistently get headknocks their clubs won't be able to insure them and they will have to retire whether they want to or not. |

All of which makes you wonder why the persistence of the Easter fixture programme if player welfare is so important to the RFL?
They’re so contradictory to each other it beggars belief. |

Being cynical... it's easier to prove head knocks = brain damage than it is that playing multiple times in a short space of time results in long term injury.
Just guessing though!

Did anyone else watch the Catalan v Wigan game and think that John Bateman threw his head at the floor on purpose when he was lifted over the horizontal?
I know players try to force the refs to make a decision but this is going too far haha.

I just heard a rumour Catalans have signed Trent Hopkinson just waiting for a visa... not sure if it’s true but if it is it makes me think that the reason we can’t sign a half back is because we won’t pay the right money

The same Trent Hodkinson that's named at 6 this week for the Sharks? He won't be going anywhere fast I wouldn't have thought |

Hopkinson & Burrows would make a fantastic partnership.
