When will all players have to wear head gear?

Surely it’s going to happen …

I'm calling it now, it will be compulsory for people to wear protective head gear by the end of this decade.

Not sure people are allowed to wear a bike helmet or one of those stack hat 1980s helmets like Phil Narkle did lol.

Shin guards will probably be worn too

Nope,not unless you are trying to stop skull fractures, because they don't work against concussions.

They’d have some value in reducing and cushioning impact …surely

Concussions are caused by the brain moving, helmets don't stop that.

They don’t. The two most concussion prone current nrl players are Reed Mahoney and Kalyn Ponga. Ponga has always worn headgear and to the best of my knowledge so has Mahoney.

The headgear myth was debunked by the NFL investigation which showed their helmets do nothing either
