Andrew Johns and Brad Fittler split over solution to concussion saga

Wide World of Sports

New South Wales great Andrew Johns has called for the NRL's independent doctor to be moved out of the Bunker.

A day after Raiders coach Ricky Stuart accused the RLPA of "not trusting coaches" after fullback Sebastian Kris was forced off the ground, Johns said it was important for the doctors to be on the sideline, rather than watching on a screen.

"There's got to be an independent doctor at the ground who assesses the player face to face, and talks to him," Johns told Nine's NRL Sunday Footy Show.
