Is there an actual rule on head injury assessments? Or is it down to the physio/doctor to make a decision on the field?
I'd worry if the decisions are left with the chap blowing the whistle, as on two occasions last night, two saints players were left horizontal on the turf with play continuing around them.
It also begs the question how Leuluai avoided being taken from the field for an assessment, considering he was involved in a head clash that lead to a head wound and at one point couldn't even pick himself up from the floor - either Bentham needs a word in the ear or Wigans medical staff need to consider player welfare more.
I think there's a lot rugby league as a game can learn from rugby union, hate to say it, but they have their heads screwed on when it comes to players welfare.
Bit of discussion on what could be considered a hot topic recently, across all sport.
