So . What is the concussion rule? Is it that if you've been assessed to have suffered a concussion, you cannot return to the field?

I'm asking this at half time of the dogs/roosters game - because it seems like Graham will probably return to the field. ... and he clearly had a concussion (and of course the roosters scored twice and there goes my tip based on forward domination. ..)

Also. ..Guerra copped a concussion early. .... anyone know the actual "rule"?

Rule is 15 minutes out and if you can't answer pre determined questions then u can get back on...I think u get 3 chances

Think that's right


Time for an 18th man who can play if this happens

I thought they amended it so that if there was a head knock, and was a check to be sure, then if you passed the concussion test could return after 10 mins.
The amendment though was if the player left the field with visible concussion symptoms (wobbly legs, clearly out etc) then not to return.

That's what I thought happened anyway
