Message: [QUOTE="Twiztid, post: 2442117, member: 2144"] Seeing as it was headline news for the last week, anyone on here could have put forward the same question of why is he playing so soon after suffering a concussion? I put it forward because as a Rabbitohs fan I have been reading about it, hearing about it and defending (the tackle) since then probably more than other teams fans. To say I am bias because of it is pretty weak. I have bought up other concussion cases before and off the top of my head I questioned why Farrah and Creagh were allowed to play on in SOO 3. Farrah didn't play that weekend and Dragons had a bye. If Dragons didn't have the bye, would they have played Creagh? If anything it just goes to show the NRL are trying to be strong on dangerous tackles due to media backlash but not being strong on protecting the players in the aftermath of said tackles. I assume he would have had tests done during the week that deemed him ok to play but as I said, I thought the NRL had a policy that clubs were to give players that were victims of concussion, an extra week off to fully recover. Edit --- After having a look for the NRL concussion guidelines. The only information I could find was here - [url]http://www.nrl.com/nrl-mailbox-concussions/tabid/10874/newsid/67441/default.aspx[/url] [/QUOTE]
