Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 2874633, member: 9052"] I think it would be highly risky for the NRL to place constraints on when a player should or shouldn't be taken from the field. If a doctor thinks they should be taken off then they should have the right to. For me the simplest approach would be if you go off for a HIA and pass you must come back on for the person who subbed on for you and you must take the field as soon as you have been cleared fit to return ie 15mins. If they are fit to play but don't come back after 15 you cop the interchange for taking them off in the first place... if you choose to bring them back after 15 but for a different player you cop an interchange (as the HIA was cleared but the player returned at the next convenience). Finally if the player returns sometime after 15 but for a different player than you cop 2 interchanges (one to get them off initially and a second to get the alternative guy off). This way a standard HIA is free, but an attempt to rort will see you penalised an interchange. Yes it could be exploited but you gain very little advantage by taking your player off to give another guy a 15 min stint. You also run the risk that a 2nd HIA rules them out for the game, which is current rules. [/QUOTE]
