South Sydney Rabbitohs forward Jai Arrow has admitted to breaching the NRL's strict new concussion protocols as his side scored an incredible last-minute try to snatch victory from the Penrith Panthers.
Fittler then questioned whether that was allowed during a SCAT5 Test – a standardised tool for evaluating concussions – or under the NRL’s protocols.“I just wanted to run down the tunnel and celebrate with the boys.Last month the Australian Rugby League Commission approved stricter concussion protocols after the AFL was hit by an unprecedented class action from past players still suffering from head knocks.
“Following a review of the data and the expert advice we have received, the Commission have enhanced these protocols even further by providing a mandatory 11-day stand down period following a diagnosed concussion,” he said.
