Message: [QUOTE="OXY-351, post: 3264840, member: 2107"] It's all good to say just get players to sign waivers, but at what stage of a players career are these going to be signed? Sure when they turn 18 they can make the choice for themselves, but what about before this? Seems like junior participation would be low with parents not wanting their kids to be playing in a game that could ultimately be harmful to them. The players will be lost to other sports before they even get to NRL level. I think the NRL needed to take some for of action for the greater long term good of the game and players, but not sure they've got about it the right way. Going to be interesting to see how long they stick with it though. All the previous crack downs seem to last a week or two and then go back to normal, but they are generally for less serious issues than player welfare. Listening to PVL last night on NRL360, he's backing himself in to a corner a bit. He's going to look weak and look like it was wrong move if it doesn't continue, and he doesn't seem like the type of person to want to admit to either of those. [/QUOTE]
