Well it would appear the NRL will have a duty of care to there employees if there is evidence of long term brain damage due to head collision. Will never eliminate the risk so maybe have a clause in player contracts that waver head injury lawsuit. The player excepts the risk when signing. Pay the players extra "danger" money on top of their contract. The NRL continues to do everything to prevent head knocks/collision.But seriously - this is a tough one. Player welfare needs to be protected, we don't want the game to turn into a tickling contest and it doesn't seem like an NFL style approach of helmets and heavy upper body padding necessarily makes a difference.
What rule changes can really make a difference?
Perhaps not the best idea. I really dont want to see helmets or the sport die altogether.
