Message: [QUOTE="Sproj, post: 2929271, member: 8423"] Of course this is true BUT McLean got 8 weeks because McKinnon got injured despite the tackle not really being that bad, so the precedent for the NRL is there. I agree completely though that the HIA rort needs to be looked at so that the Storm...I mean...TEAMS that exploit it are dealt with. I have no problem with the HIA law itself, it is very important for players' health but it can definitely be policed better. Instead of the current ten minutes or whatever it is, make it 5 and the same player has to come back on (as suggested above). Any player who is clearly NOT HIA but tries to get away with it, ala Croker's knee suddenly becoming his head, gets penalised TWO interchanges instead of one. Also, compare the data of how many times a forward gets taken off HIA compared to backs. Almost every game you see forwards getting taken off but backs who can hardly walk in a straight line stay on.
