Definitely should challenge this, nothing to lose everything to gain, think we need him against the dogs, great effort from Jazz last night, but he was doing it tough towards the end of the game, dogs will be a step up in pace and Jazz 80 mins back to back might just be too much of an ask.

Surely there can be an independent medical assessment and request to play off the back of it.

I dont normally like to whinge about the ref but how that big log didnt get 10 in the bin is a deadset joke

I think they got the transcription of that quote from Seibold wrong. Watching the press conference, pretty sure he said Jake "doesn't have a mark on his face". Sounds like they were confident he didn't show any category 1 symptoms and could have played on. Which would make it crazy for him not to be able to play next week as well.

 

[Brookie1973]

The whole system sounds crazy to me. How many people are doing these HIA tests where we get to a point where we are arguing over the outcome? And I still don’t understand why we couldn’t activate our 18th man for a clear instance of foul play that we lost a player over.
