Kyle Flogagains HIA

[manlyfan76]

Really looked like the most minimal contact and he dogs it for a penalty, bunker gets involved and here we go.

But what's that he has to go for a HIA?
Words don't express my (or DCE's) joy at that.

 

[Dion Johnson]

DCE certainly let him know as he was walking off, that got the fire back in the belly for the team, we should thank Flanagan for that..

Ola put on report for that yet the higher and harder hit on Brooksy gets a penalty and nothing else. Joke.

“How does it feel knowing you only have a gig because your dad’s coach?”

Forget Toms p!ss weak one also, way worst than Flano's The rules are forcing players to take dives

When does the HIA replacement get activated? Is it only when you have 2 players go down?
I thought if there was foul play (i.e. report or send off) you could also activate?

 

[Carl]

Brooks got hit high not long after but didn't sit there shaking the water out of his ears.

That guy is tough.

Two players with a failed hia or one out from bin or send off; not on report; who knows why not?

I would love to see the nrl bring in that ruling for everyone who milks a penalty, would stop all the ham actors in the game

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

We never looked like losing after that, so thanks for the leg up, Kyle.

Thanks, I thought if they went on report it also got activated.

That'll be half the squeels team in the HIA

Pretty sure I saw Flanagan wave at our players and laugh as he got the penalty, only to be told seconds later to leave the field. The crowd absolutely gave it to him. This is all the NRL need to do to stop players diving. There’s no risk to the game if they take this stance. A player that is genuinely concussed, will show signs anyway, so they’ll be treated accordingly. If a player is sent off that doesn’t actually require an assessment, a strong message not to milk penalties will be sent!

 

[mave]

It's been an obvious solution for months.

I think the NRL love the controversy though....more clicks.

Only issue with that approach is a free interchange... but on balance, I would agree

But that can, and is, frequently rorted already

 

[mickqld]

How about the rediculous situation where we have no reserves but can't activate the 18th man. Absolute failure by the nrl as well as negligence where a player who clearly shouldn't be playing had to in Waddell.

Yeah that’s a good point but as Mave suggests, it’s already being abused. I guess you also consider that something has to actually happen to trigger the scenario so won’t be too frequent in a game. Then you factor in that not too many teams want an interchange unless it’s a tired middle. So that’s 2-3 players out of possible 13 that you’d want to sub. If it’s a half or a damaging second rower or outside back, chances are you’re better with them out on the field, than off it, even if they get a rest.
