Yeah better double check that Matt..
I think he passed the test but they kept him off based on the NRL doctor's final review of the incident.
He did pass his test but as he had been knocked out and it was a significant hit the doc correctly wouldn't let him back on
I am something of a COVID optimist, but I think the risk of the game being closed to spectators or moved is low at this stage. No restrictions currently in place for GC except mandatory mask wearing indoors (and recommended if outdoors and social distancing not possible). Will all depend on what transpires over the next couple of days though.
raiders will be forced to field a team of queensland based supporters before they move the game to nsw which they should just straight up be doing.greeneyed wrote: ↑March 29, 2021, 3:29 pm NRL have plans in place for Canberra Raiders' Gold Coast game
NRL football boss Graham Annesley says they have a range of contingency plans in place for the Canberra Raiders' trip to the Gold Coast. The Raiders will still travel to face the Titans as planned on Saturday.
Contingency plans could include the use of charter flights for the Raiders, same-day travel up and back to minimise time in Queensland, and moving the game as as a last resort.

No, in these times of COVID they will absolutely let you cancel anything. You won't get your airfare back, but you'll get travel credits and they won't charge you to change your flights.cat wrote: ↑March 29, 2021, 4:31 pmThursday is the point of no return, will have to pay accommodation otherwise and don't think i can get tickets and airfare backThe Nickman wrote: ↑March 29, 2021, 4:28 pmHang on, it's madness to cancel anything until you know for sure you have to.

Just be patient and wait until you have to make a decision before you do, I'm in exactly the same boat.

While I get the player welfare thing, I too saw a fairly alert Kris under James. I was annoyed at the time because we would lose 2 to HIA, but figured he would pass and return, unlike James who was clearly goneski.-PJ- wrote: ↑March 29, 2021, 3:32 pm I clearly saw Seb Kris laying underneath a heavily concussed Ryan James, Kris was awake. Concussed yes but awake. Both players leave the field for HIA protocol testing.
Seb Kris at no stage that I’m aware of was knocked out.
He passes his HIA but for he’s own safety is wiped from the rest of the match.
Good decision.

Your having a laugh.
Did you watch the game? See what happened with the injuries and **** ref?
I saw us blow a 21 point lead against the Warriors regardless of the circumstances and if it wasn't for good luck we would of blown another lead and lost against the Sharks the week before. We still haven't seen the team play two good halves of football in the same game this season and it's a bit of a cause for concern. We really need to get on top of it and deliver a big performance against the Titans if we are serious about the top 4. I know the team can do it I'm just waiting to see it this season and I would hope that I'm not alone in thinking that.Matt wrote: ↑March 29, 2021, 8:04 pmI 2nd GMs ridicule of your post.

I see what you're saying but I like that the doctor didn't let him return. The HIA test is flawed. Last time I got concussed, I could easily have passed any test but I had problems for a long time afterwards. Another hit that day and I'd have been stuffed. Kris is just starting his career and we need to look after him - even though he would've been the difference on Saturday.Matt wrote: ↑March 29, 2021, 8:01 pmWhile I get the player welfare thing, I too saw a fairly alert Kris under James.

Good decision.
I figured he didn't pass, hence not returning, and didn't hear otherwise. If he passed, why would he not return? Im sure there are others, but don't recall players passing and not returning unless its late in the game, or their team was running up a score/ being pumped and it was pointless.
Isn't the point of the test to decide the severity? And danger to the player should he return?
Not sure how I say this without downplaying head knocks, but there were a couple of others out there on the weekend that probably shouldn't have been. In hindsight, its even easier to believe he could have been the difference between a loss and a win.

I am not going this weekend, had not planned to go. I am staying in Canberra to play a golf tournament, has probably proved to be a wise decision as I would have been in the same boat as you. Going to Queensland for the Cowboys game and Magic Round but I expect we will have moved to the next crisis by then.
