A Rhinos statement said: “The club have reiterated their commitment to the brain health of their players. Having reviewed footage from Saturday’s game and implementing the RFL guidelines, the club are adopting the correct protocol in standing these players down.”

I made a similar point on another thread. If the protocols the other 11 clubs are following are sufficient to mitigate the risk as far as it can be, then we certainly are putting ourselves at a significant disadvantage. It is unsustainable.

Either that or we are shatting ourselves over getting sued following the apparent lack of player welfare suggested in the Steve Ward case.
But surely if we follow the rules/advice the other clubs are taking we should not be having 7 players out with concussion protocols.
Might as well play touch and pass next year, saying that I think we are playing it this year but we get let down with the passing side of it!!

I wonder where we were intending playing Jake Connor. Is Newman going to be out for six months with concussion or was it with a view to picking him over Frawley or Miller?

Miller has been far better than Conner this season, my thought is more as you say is Newmans concussion bad

Connor has been poor , but lets not exaggerate

Fully agree

How’s it an exaggeration? Miller has been better than conner this year.

ok , maybe it is me that is exaggerating , but Miller is poor , i hoped he would not be but he is .

An ultimate seven a side player (hop , skip and a jump )

People complain about project signings and think Jake Conner would be a good addition.

I disagree Miller will be a good signing imo

Miller's defence is not top 6 standard. Was hopeful when signed him but he does seem more suited to sevens.

His defence hasn’t been that bad.

He’s not in the same league as Dufty for poor defence

Miller is fine. It's probably too much to ask that people don't look for scapegoats immediately after the departure of Smith. But really you should be looking at the pack if that's your thing.

Miller's try line defence isn't good enough. He doesn't put his body on the line. That said it's hard to complain at what on paper is an exciting back line when constantly playing on the back foot behind a beaten pack. Our pack isn't that small so tactics and training also have to come into question.
