Said it before RE bans but if some of the stuff that bans are being handed out were given reds on game day there would be uproar! And more than likely fewer bans as well for obvious reasons.

Looking forward to Saturday but got this awful feeling Powell will have them fired up and could well see them throw everything at us early on to get a couple of scores ahead. I think I'm mentally scared from seeing Cas tear us apart on the edges so often in recent times!!

RE Austin, apparently all the promo material was all done around him playing his old club then the news of the ban dropped. Seems we always find a way to shoot ourselves in the foot even in new markets!!

You have seen the incident and the state fusitua was in after it though havnt you?

It certainly is bizarre, but it happened.

My wife (with limited rugby knowledge) kept pointing out he was looking very wobbly and was amazed he was still on (we were in the NS). How the medical staff didn't see is beyond me

All players will say they are ok to continue thats their nature. Too brave for there own good sometimes. It was so obvious to anyone that Fusitua was in distress and was having some issues.

The last thing the sport needs is more Stevie Ward like injuries.

Player safety is absolutely vital and paramount.

I mentioned the medical and physio staff but would also like to point out i think the coaches shouldve had the foresight to see he wasnt right.

The game cant risk allowing players with head injuries to try and run it off. He clearly should have been assessed off the pitch.

I find it concerning he played so long after the incident with the nature of the injury and how obvious it was to everyone.

Exactly,it has been said that the initial concussion isn't the problem,it's any impact after the first than can cause the issues the game is tying to avoid.

We were right behind it. He was clearly KO'd then came round quickly thankfully. Club medical team dropped a clanger here no doubt about it (Agar has asked for an investigation from the medial team as to why he was allowed to play on). You could see he was all over the place.

Hopefully lessons learned and Fusi is ok.
