Is it better to be overly cautious with concussion? In my view, definitely. An independent doctor will largely take the same approach as a club doctor, only without the pressure that comes with making a potentially match outcome-defining decision. It’s about improving the process in the interests of player welfare. It’s not a drastic change, but I think it would be an improvement on the current process.
Do you want King taken off late in a final when youre a goal down and lose - and it turn out he had no issue ?
Should "independent" doctors have that sort of impact on a grand final ?
