Knights used HIA for Pearce Pec injury

[Wagga_Tiger]

If they acknowledge it at all they will claim Yates was due back on but I am pretty sure was the rule is same players change back on and off.

How can Yates be 'due back on' if they had no interchanges left?

Do you mean he was off for a HIA as well?

Getting confusing

He was also off for a HIA to my knowledge.

This is my understanding of it too after watching the replay. It seems they were in fact entitled to a free interchange as Pearce wasn't the HIA leaving the field, Yates was the HIA coming back onto the field.

Agree with KFC as well, the player substituting should be the player to come off. What's to stop players (particularly forwards,) feigning head injuries at times of the game where the coach would be looking to make interchanges. HIA replacement that comes on must be the one that comes off IMO.

The question is had Yates been off long enough? he is still on with 16 to go. I haven't had a chance to watch the replay and see what time he goes off but Pearce leaves with about 5 to go and Yates is still on with 16 left so thats an 11 minute period in which a kick off takes place and a try to the knights.

as a trainer, the first question you ask is "tell me what happened" and the way pearce was holding his shoulder and no contact with head or neck means there is no suspiscion of concussion- you can only use HIA if you are suspecting concussion.

and it is "recommended" that HIAs take AT LEAST 15 minutes to- you ask a set of questions then 10 mins later ask them again to check memory, saying some numbers backwards etc there is no golden rule of sit out 10 or 15 mins

and it's not that easy to rort the system either coz you cant keep taking players off suspecting concussion coz if they need a HIA 3 weeks in a row, they need to sit out.

idk about the yates situation but if the knights brought pearce off suspecting concussion then they will be in trouble sooner or later.

and finally, i've said this before and i'll say it again. Whether a player is fit to play before the game and concussion calls need to come from an independent professional and not someone affiliated with the club.

Yates is off for about 13.30 minutes all up

Maybe the 15 minutes is indeed recommendation only as TP suggests.

Are you sure ??

I saw him in the dressing room talking to the team doctor /trainer but didn't see him go off

Has Pascoe referred this to the NRL?, have not seen any media outlet mention it!.

Yates was the one who gave away the penalty to get us to 20 and you don’t actually see him leave the ground but just after the kick it cuts to him in the dressing room and the little banner thing says its a HIA. Game time he’s off for about 11 minutes but real time the 13.30.

I guess the club doesn't want to be seen as tattle tale

We can't possibly get anything from it , maybe they get a fine , couldn't see points being deducted

Didn't Jamie Buhrer go off for a HIA in the second half as well?

It's all well and good for us fans to blow up on social media but there is a thing called toeing the line, Greenburg want's us to talk the game up so there should be due process, someone stuffed up & someone needs to be accountable for this failure.

Gladstone and footballers is starting a bit of unwanted history

The King and his merry men got far too merry back in the 80's and literally destroyed the Rocky Glen Hotel

Back in 2001 the WT's and Melbourne had a trial here , a few WT's players enjoyed a few local girls a little too much

Throw the players on the local barge and show them the Harbour , very pretty at night

Yep former guest got it.

I have been looking around trying to find what the rule is regarding HIA and it isn't outlined in the 'laws and interpretations' document or anywhere else that I can find.

I was always under the impression that when a player went off for a HIA that they had to replace the same play when they came back on, for example:
Taylor replaced by Smith for a HIA and passes after 15 minutes and comes back on the field. Smith comes back off and Taylor goes on.

I will have a closer look at it over games in the next few weeks as it would be good to know the rules around this.

Initially when a player goes of for a HIA it doesn't count as an interchange…when they return if they change with the player who replaced them it is fine however if the come back on for a different player that counts as an interchange.....

Time to let this go… Let's look forward, not back

im mostly curious for future references not this game tbh, hence it needs to be looked in detail

Agree with this don’t think it cost us the game but I am interested what the actual rules are and am surprised they are not clearly outlined anywhere publicly available. How are people meant to talk the game up if they can’t find simple information.
