Rugby league boss Peter V'landys says the independent doctor followed the correct process following Isaah Yeo's head knock, but he still thinks the Blues forward should have left the field.

The independent doctor told the Blues' team doctor that Yeo was a category three, meaning there were no clear signs of concussion, which meant it was up to the NSW trainers to assess him on the field.
