Very true and I could see this happening especially in big games.
Mandatory stand down for concussion introduced
- Thread starter Woodsie
- Start date
Really??
Who would seriously risk being suspended for finals or a grand final trying to concus someone.
That sounds pretty fair to me

I'd go one step further- if the victim of the hit is ruled out for the rest of the game because of concussion, the perpetrator should not be allowed back on after the 15 minute sin bin- he must be replaced by someone else and if his team has run out of subs, then bad luck.

It's an odd number that's for sure
Correct, well spotted!
You just never know
What's the point? You aren't going to play the same team in the GF that you just beat in the PF.
So there is exactly the same motivation for taking out the opposition key man as there has always been. The auto 11 day thing doesn't change that.
Doesnt necessarily have to be semi, it could be any game. Take a few years ago, the wishbone tackle when a couple of players grabbed a leg each and pulled it in different directions, it could be any game. Cant wait for your reply
I proposed this yesterday in the "other games thread".
Except it took me a cpl paragraphs to get around to what you
summarised in two lines!
Well at least @Ron E. Gibbs liked my rule change.
Not quite sure what you're getting at... if you mean some players/teams go out to hurt the dangerman, I agree. That's how it is and how it's always been.
But I can't see how the 11 day rule affects that?
forget it
