Can he continue to play?
Well ultimately yeah he's he's able to play, but you know, he's he's not selected in the team today.
They've got a VfL bye, but he's been playing this year.
I think he's played eleven games this year.
He played twenty four in two thousand and twenty four and then for he had other injuries last year which kept him off the park.
Yeah look it's not as binary as a as a traffic light and I'm not a doctor so I I don't want to get into that but what we do have is I said absolute experts on that concussion panel and as I said what we will uh learn one of the learnings from this will be
increased even more rigor in the way that we work with the with players who go to that concussion panel.
And we're not talking big numbers of players that that go and see that panel, but there are num there there are players who see that.
Should it be red or green though?
Look again I've g I I'm not a doctor, but what what the panel is asked to do is make a call on
is the player able or not able to play as opposed to the other way around.
And there have been players who've gone to the panel and the advice has been clear, you you know, you shouldn't play.
And we've had players retire on the back of that.
We've had players retire as a result of concussions who haven't gone to the panel and they've come to that conclusion with their club doctor or with their independent doctor.
But again
We're very thankful for the doctors who give up their time and they um serve on that panel.
It's a really important role for the game.
No, I don't think we downplayed it, but what we were doing was working um
at pace in a really complicated issue and the first thing that we were you know the first thought goes to the player and how's he and at that stage the player didn't want to be identified.
