Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart has doubled down on his criticism of the NRL's concussion protocols, and called for independent bunker doctors to be scrapped, despite Andrew Abdo and Graham Annesley refusing to take a "backward step" on their "safety-first approach".
"I don't think we need the bunker doctor," Stuart told The Canberra Times.
"The integrity of any doctor will be trusted in regards to the welfare of a football player. I can't see a doctor wanting to cheat the system. I don't know a doctor who would."
