WORDS: JACQUI DODD In 2021 the NRL’s concussion rules are under more scrutiny “Whereas someone who is an independent medical assessor than ever before. doesn’t have that obligation. If the doctor is going to assess the player as a patient and say, okay do I see signs and symptoms, The third round saw eight players ruled out mid-match after what are they reporting how severe are those symptoms that failing a Head Injury Assessment (HIA) with the Cronulla Sharks they report, what is my medical prognosis of their recovery versus Parramatta Eels clash resulting in four concussions going to be like. alone. “With a club doctor there’s always the pressure not just from At present, the NRL has already enforced two rule changes coaching staff but we know from the research that players regarding concussions following the commencement of the themselves can try and pressure doctors to say you know what 2021 premiership season. Following the first round, the NRL I’ve got a headache but I’m actually okay, I think the headache ruled that players who fail an HIA will need to be cleared by is not from my concussions but I had a drink last night or I was an independent neurologist within 11 days of suffering the listening to some loud music or I went for a run/jog and I pushed concussion. too hard and I think that’s what is causing my headaches rather than anything post-concussion.” A change that created some confusion, as some believed that meant the NRL was following the AFL’s decision to rule a player “So that can also put undue pressure onto the doctor to try and out for at least a week. However, that couldn’t be further from sign them back quickly. So, I think that’s a good thing. the truth with five of the eight players suffering concussions last week named for their respective round four matches. “One of the things though having a club doctor is that a club doctor knows the player really well. While the science doesn’t necessarily support this I do know that there is some anecdotal evidence to suggest that the club doctors knowing the players really well can actually teeth out what actually is concussion and what may be some other effects. The headaches or nausea may be coming from neck soreness or some shoulder soreness that is impacting on a nerve that is travelling to the brain, there are two sides to the argument.” The second new rule to be announced was the controversial 18th man, not set to take effect until next weekend, for a team to activate the 18th man they will have to have three players fail an HIA throughout the match. The policy isn’t untested with the 18th man being brought into The Inner Sanctum spoke with Associate Professor in the NSWRL in the 2020 premiership season. However, NSWRL Neurophysiology at La Trobe University Dr Alan Pearce about teams didn’t need three players to fail their HIA but only needed concussion safety and the value of the rules being introduced. one player to fail to switch in the 18th man. With Pearce asserting independent medical assessors are less likely to feel pressured by clubs and players. Whilst the NRL is looking to avoid clubs exploiting the 18th man rule, the caveat of three players having to be ruled as concussed “I think having an independent medical assessor is a good thing. before the substitution can be brought in is being seen as a Because it takes it out of the responsibility of the club doctor purely cosmetic change that will rarely need to be utilised, with to feel a little bit pressured to get the player back as quickly as how rare it is for three players from the same team to fail an possible,” he said.

Mid-season rule changes are often seen as controversial, with the increase in players suffering from concussions, changes Dr Pearce described that a minor hit to a player with a history of need to be made for the sake of player safety without impacting concussions can have the player go down and take them out of the general play too heavily. the game for an extended period of time. “The scientific evidence is telling us that the more concussions The fourth round featured a bizarre decision to not immediately you have the longer or more severe the symptoms and it does pull Canterbury Bulldogs halfback Lachlan Lewis from the field, take longer to recover. following a head knock as he tackled Rabbitoh Josh Mansour. “Now the other side of it too is that for every subsequent Lewis remained on the field for the entirety of the Bulldogs concussion you get, you need less of an impact force to get attacking set much to the bewilderment of fans and the concussed.

  • TO: NZRL Staff, Districts and Affiliates and Board FROM: Cushla Dawson
    TO: NZRL Staff, Districts and Affiliates and Board FROM: Cushla Dawson DATE: 14 April 2009 RE: Media Summary Tuesday 07 April to Tuesday 14 April 2009 Give us a chance: WITH France joining Australia, Great Britain and New Zealand to make up an international quad-nations series this year, Fiji Bati centre Darryl Millard has called on the Pacific Nations to be considered too. After the 2008 Rugby League World Cup shake up of the international calendar by the Rugby League International Federation, it has been proposed that a Pacific Cup be held this year. The winner of the tournament enters the 2010 Rugby League Four Nations tournament (consisting of Australia, New Zealand, England and a qualifying nation). A Pacific Cup is also proposed to be held in 2011. Jones not available for Kiwis: He still has that magic touch but little general Stacey Jones has ruled himself out of contention for New Zealand's clash with Australia next month at Lang Park. The scheming halfback said he would not be available for selection for the Brisbane match which takes place on May 8, the day after his 33rd birthday. After one year out of rugby league, Jones made a shock return to the NRL this season and has shown he still has a knack for creating tries. Linwood win 17-try see-saw: Former Warrior Kane Ferris scored a match-winning try on the stroke of fulltime as the Linwood Keas snuck home in a 94-point rugby league thriller against east-side arch rival Aranui. Linwood's Canterbury Bulls hooker Nathan Sherlock and Aranui Eagles back Tim Rangihuna both scored four tries as the Keas clung to a 48-46 victory at Rugby League Park on Saturday.

  • 2014 NRL Year Book
    NRL Referees Col Pearce Medal 2014 WELCOME Welcome to the 2014, 11th annual awarding of refereeing’s most prestigious prize, the Col Pearce Medal, which occurs at the culmination of the closest NRL season in history. As we are all aware, the closer any competition is, the greater the level of scrutiny on match officials and their performances. This season has been no different. The start of the season witnessed a new manager of the squad with Daniel Anderson moving to take up an opportunity as the General Manager of Football at Parramatta. As with any change of leadership this brings some level of apprehension and concern. All officials should be very proud of their efforts, dedication and commitment to the season. At the season launch early this year, I spoke about these qualities and I am confident to say that those in the squad delivered on them. For that I thank you. No official is successful without the wonderful support of their family and close friends. I thank all the partners for the support in the endless hours that the referees were away from home. Additionally, for those times when they were at home but distracted by the demands of officiating at the elite level. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my staff for their unbelievable support and hard work throughout the season. Your contribution to the success of the squad this year is immeasurable. As in any season, individuals and the group have had highs and lows but one of the most significant improvements was the level of support that the NRL Referee squad received from the NRL hierarchy including Nathan McGuirk, Todd Greenberg and Dave Smith as well as the NRL Commission.

    Sir Peter Leitch Club AT MT SMART STADIUM, HOME OF THE MIGHTY VODAFONE WARRIORS 12th July 2017 Newsletter #178 So Long Legend, And Thanks For The Memories By David Kemeys Former Sunday Star-Times Editor, Former Editor-in-Chief Suburban Newspapers, Long Suffering Warriors Fan T IS as we all knew. The days of being blinded by the sunlight flashing off Manu Vatuvei’s gold teeth are Iover. The big fellah is off to Salford in the English Super League, having been granted an early release from the contract he had with us to the end of the 2018 season. It is a strangely empty felling, given I have been cheering for the bloke for a decade. “Manu is a club legend,” managing director Jim Doyle said. “We didn’t make this decision lightly but after years of service we didn’t want to stand in his way.” I can’t say anything this week that I did not say last week, so farewell Warrior No 115, and thanks for the 226 appearances, some of them great, some not, but you will always be “The Beast” to me, even if, having come to know you a little bit, it is the most ill-suited name they could possibly have given you. I will miss your presence, I will miss your smile, I will miss your laughter. I will miss your carries, I will miss your all or noth- ing approach, and I will miss your tries. It is going to be a long time before anyone overhauls that all-time try-scorer record of 152.

    Sir Peter Leitch Club AT MT SMART STADIUM, HOME OF THE MIGHTY VODAFONE WARRIORS 5th September 2018 Newsletter #233 Congratulations to the Vodafone Warriors on making the 2018 NRL Finals Congratulations Simon on playing your 300th game for the Vodafone Warriors we hope you enjoyed the night as we all did. Photos courtesy of www.photosport.nz Bloody, Penrith, Dragons and Broncos...give me a break By David Kemeys Former Sunday Star-Times Editor, Former Editor-in-Chief Suburban Newspapers, Long Suffering Warriors Fan HIS IS why I am not an NRL tipster. TLast week I boldly opined that to get a home game we would need to beat the Raiders – which happened – and have results go our way – which didn’t. The Storm did not beat the Panthers and blew the Minor Premiership, buggering everything. The Roosters, as predicted, were way too good for the Eels and snatched the Minor Premiership. Souths ended their slump by beating a Tigers side that barely looked interested to finish third. The Sharks at least made me look semi-competent, beating the Dogs to go fourth. The Panthers, as mentioned, pulled off an upset no-one saw coming, and that left them in fifth. The Broncos crushed Manly and rose to sixth, only failing to edge the Panthers – having finished on the same points and differential – because they had more points conceded. The Dragons beat Newcastle yet dropped to seventh. All of which saw us, despite our win over Canberra, at an almost disappointing eighth. Being there is the only thing, and our last finals experience in 2011 took us all the way to the final from the same spot, so why not again? It’s doubtful even if I wish I could say differently, but I cannot see it happening.
