Re: Rance hit vs Carlisle hit
I am absolutely staggered no one here has ripped into you for this comment
Roo the older was courageous on field - threw himself with abandon into packs and as far as injuries go "head" concerns didnt affect him till later in his career, and most likely when he started thinking family and retirement.
And for those that bother to listen to players/things other than those of red/white/black
Jack R interviewed on the Fox last week re. the state of game and problems with Forwards getting outnumbered 2-1
Went on the record saying he loved the challenge of going against two or competing in packs
Neither are soft. FULLSTOP

Rip into me if you want, I'm not calling either player soft by any means and what a strange bow to draw?sunsaint wrote: ↑Thu 31 May 2018 4:13pmI am absolutely staggered no one here has ripped into you for this comment

Concussion doesn't happen to people being "soft", but clearly different people have different propensities to concussion from knocks to the head. I couldn't count the amount of times Nick would come out of a contest looking stunned or dazed, playing on and putting the team above his own welfare.
No-one chooses concussion, it's a physiological reaction, most likely related to certain genes.

Re: Rance hit vs Carlisle hit
I have no issue with Carslile getting two weeks for the hit, I think it is a fair outcome.
The fact that Rance got off is a joke! Incidents are very similar.

Re: Rance hit vs Carlisle hit
fairly easy conclusion when you say the Riewoldt brothers are concussion prone compared to others

Re: Rance hit vs Carlisle hit
SO what would be the difference since day dot where an opposition gets "star" players in niggles/fights hoping to get a reactive strike?

Re: Rance hit vs Carlisle hit
I guess if you thought that concussion = soft… I don't think Koby Stevens is a "soft" footballer, nor was Nathan Burke. So a long bow to connect those dots IMO.

Re: Rance hit vs Carlisle hit
cmon Dragit now you are playing games
I never said concussion was s soft injury - you went there
You DID say that the Roo's were more concussion prone to others (genetics) than other more robust players
I think other wise in regards to them

Re: Rance hit vs Carlisle hit
Haha - I'm honestly not playing games at all, I reckon Nick was knocked out or dazed more often from regular head bumps than other players, so Jack probably has a similar disposition.
There is no shame or any relation to hardness in the contest etc, but there is clearly a different level of force required between different players in order to create a concussion injury, surely that is a given? Some players tear an ACL or hamstrings more easily, others get knocked out at different levels of force.
Instead of punishing based on a potentially dangerous act, we are punishing players based on who it actually is they are making a contest with… seems counter-intuitive if we are serious about preventing head injuries.
We have no idea what the actual force difference (N) was between the Rance & Carlisle incidents which look close to identical… it's just 2 weeks or zero weeks, depending on who is involved in the contest.
