NRL: Sydney Roosters coach Trent Robinson and captain James Tedesco reflect on their record ANZAC Day win against St George Illawarra Dragons.
Both coaches out of Thursday’s clash at Allianz Stadium concede more needs to be done to protect players from kick-offs, with Trent Robinson expecting the NRL to enact a rule change soon in a bid to lessen the risk of concussion.
The only place to watch every game of every round LIVE with no ad-breaks during play is Fox League, available on Kayo. New to Kayo?Suli was ruled out immediately and the makeshift left edge defended admirably against Joseph Manu and Dom Young, although it mattered little as the Roosters piled on 60 points on Anzac Day.
Player safety has never been more important, with sporting codes around the world trying to find ways to reduce heavy collisions that can lead to brain trauma. Sharks veteran Dale Finucane retired earlier this week due to repeated head knocks, and he won’t be the last given how big some of the collisions are.It’s why there have been calls for the NRL to tinker with the kick-offs like the NFL has done, with suggestions it should just be a play the ball to reduce the gap between the ball carrier and defenders who are charging in to set the tone.
