James Graham - Concussion

[bulldogfan1]

I just have a slight uneasy feeling that we are going to hear more about this.

When Graham got up, he definitely had jelly legs. That is evidence of concussion, yet he came back on.

Greenburg said repeat offenders could get fined or lose points.

Thoughts?

dont they go through tests to see if there ok to continue?

if not why call it a test

 

[Chris Harding]

He was taken off under the rules. Tested under the rules; and cleared by a doctor under the rules.

I agree Chris...but the rule has been that if someone has jelly legs, then that is clear cut concussion and cant return...I am bracing myself as we have been fined before, is that correct?

 

[Berries]

Why have a test if you cannot pass it?

 

[Indiandog]

is that an independent doctor who does the test now???

if he cleared James then no case to answer.

the jelly legs is a stupid indicator, its because people get up too soon

eastwood was smart he waited on the ground

Is the "jelly legs" the correct terminology used for the concussion rule?

Is the "jelly legs" the correct terminology used for the concussion rule?

I think the clearer and preferred terminology is "wobbly legs".

how much wobbly leg do you need for it to count to be wobbly leg?

like if it is the smallest wobble ever i think its ok to continue

good point, if a player gets really hit hard that he could nt even get up... how would he get wobbly legs??

Graham didnt get hit hard thats why he got up straight away..wobbly legs can be due to several reason.

It is the concussion of the brain ffs not the concussion of the legs.

[CrittaMagic69]

He was right, he just looked like my dad after a night at the local tbh.

He spoke well and seemed fine during the post match interview stuff, he even said he wasn't concussed and past the tests no issues himself...
