NRL chief executive Andrew Abdo has weighed in on the heated head injury assessment debate, informing furious coaches and players “we have a policy”.
Abdo’s response comes in the wake of
Kalyn Ponga’s shock HIA after a call by the independent doctor which Knights coach Adam O’Brien “couldn’t believe”.
Meanwhile, Raiders coach Ricky Stuart claimed the NRL and RLPA “don’t trust coaches”
and called for the independent doctor to be removed from the game.
