Why should every hit to the head require a hia? You can be hit in the head and be perfectly fine. In fact I'd say more often than not you would be perfectly fine.
No-one stays down for a penalty when there hasn't been any contact. The CNK incident against us, he was clearly staying down for the penalty, also was clearly hit in the head and also clearly not concussed.

I agree Greg . Most hits to the head aren’t really HIA, but quite often the independent Doc plays their part and calls the player off in case. I believe ( and happy to be corrected) the 15 mins is due to delayed concussion. Therefore, I would assume that if you have been hit in the head enough to lie down and grab your head, you would be strongly considered to be a chance to have concussion or potential for it. Particularly given one of the official observations is grabbing the head or neck.
I’m not trying to be a smart arse here mate and I’m replying with respect as you always do.
I don’t think it’s fair that it comes on the trainers as they will always be under pressure no matter what gets said publicly.
At the end of the day, the ref should be able to referee, without interference from the bunker.
The ref is there to adjudicate according to the rules and is on the field where the contact happens. Almost every tackle involves contact with the melon. Honestly, slow it down and have a look. Something will touch the head. Someone could lie down almost every tackle. Some did start heading that way last night…… backs, like CNK. I’m sure if they knew they would have to go off they might reconsider. Soccer has divers, games a joke. This game has imposters trying to milk penalties too.

At the end of the day, if you lay down you should have to go for a HIA. There’s nothing to stop anyone from being called off for a HIA now, by the trainers if they have been touched on the head at any time.

so essentially by the rules CNK gave an observation of requiring a HIA, because he was laying down, grabbed his face/ head and was slow to his feet, which projects confusion. Classic concussion symptoms.
