Probably not someone I know since it's too early but also with Finucane retiring and we know about Egan's issues it's definitely should be talked about more.

I like the 11 day stand down period for those minor ones but what's happening with players who are actually knocked out. I find there are players that come back way too early and we'll soon see those players from the 80/90s ("hard men") who voice their personal experiences.

I think some of the fighting sports like MMA have at least a 30 day stand down if you are knocked out. Personally think the NRL should have this and perhaps increase the 30 player limit.

Interesting read.

Blunt force drama: Are NRL players receiving the same realistic advice on concussions as AFL counterparts?

As AFL players retire in numbers, is the reality being made clear to their NRL counterparts?
