How expected.
The blue card debacle was a terrible terrible moment. The fact the player was allowed to continue playing after being concussed so badly is beyond reprehensible with everything we now know about player safety and concussions. And to ignore the blue card from the referee and still continue to say things like,
“The Ned Slack-Smith blue card scenario was incredibly stupid grow up.”
Just shows how Willing they were to put their own kids at risk for success.

hmmm, you should probably check your facts. Anyway, I think it is a good thing for the boys concerned, time to develop academically and physically can't be a bad thing.

How do you know the level of his concussion was “so bad”? Were you the physio that observed him and for that matter passed him? It’s time to move on let’s focus on the season to come should be a close and ripping season

He wasn't concussed. Wasn't even a head knock. He was cleared by physio and a doctor... imagine caring so much about schoolboy footy that people in this forum create conspiracies in order to have a whinge... genuinely embarrassing. If this is you you should have a good hard long look at yourself.

The ref gave him a blue card and he had several stage one signs of concussion. Only Barker would do anything except follow the expected protocols.
And obviously they did the wrong thing because Australian Rugby came in and said he wasn’t allowed to play for the CAS game. So, maybe Barker are more important than Aus Rugby, but they still weren’t allowed to let him play and failed to follow appropriate protocols… as is consistently the case.

If a doctor and a physiological both clear him he is fine to play. This isn't soccer. If a player had to sit out every time they had a head knock no-one would play...

What protocols do barker consistently fail to follow? One time they get it wrong and you harp on about it for two years. Also we’re you at the game and saw him exhibit signs of a concussion? All signs pointed to him being winded in a tackle.

Age dispensation
Concussion protocols
Blue Cards
Coaching microphones
You will continue to defend these things no doubt.
The video has him showing signs of Ataxia, he is dazed and slow to get moving.
I’ve seen enough rugby in my 56 years to know when someone is concussed.

if you bring up microphones everything else you say is instantly disregarded. The conspiracy theories are beyond a joke, this is school boy footy.

Didn't know watching rugby for 56 years makes you a doctor.

You don’t need to be a doctor to recognise a concussion, that’s why refs can give blue cards.

Hence why rugby Australia came in and said that barker had not followed blue card protocols and disallowed him from playing in CAS.

is it your position that concussion laws are silly?

1. Knox

4. Cranbrook or trinity.

I reckon there's a lot of teams competing this year and should be a very tight season
