[QUOTE="goodNumber10, post: 677522, member: 71068"] It's a ridiculous comparison and one your making for no other reason than to get a rise... If the points you made above were part of an ongoing discussions within the game then of course it'd be different... but your comparing some wildly mad piece of troll bait against a discussion that's got thousands of medical hours and millions of dollars being thrown into it. The points in fitzsimmons article are no different to the points we've read in any other article about smith, about Fritz, about Goode and avrious boxers etc... No one is calling for sports to be banned or anything else, the point he is making, and well enough in my opinion, is that a guy suffered a very serious injury and played on because the NRL protocol (in his opinion) wasn't sufficient. He's not offering solutions, he's making an observational comment about a very serious subject that is being reviewed. The NRL seem to agree, again you keep ignoring this, and are investigating how Burgess was allowed to play on. Seemed like it at the time, but alas no :) I don't know, concussion effects people differently and adrenaline will hide a lot of damage and get people through different situations - but i'm no expert. heheheh! I was a flay half i never went into contact my entire career. [/QUOTE]
