The NRL will enforce 11-day stand down periods for players after suffering a concussion in a move the game's stars admit could save players from themselves.
Canberra Raiders forward Corey Harawira-Naera says concussions - which is perhaps rugby league's greyest of areas - can be a touchy subject but NRL players "can't argue" with the decision.
The former New Zealand international even suggests the rule change would eliminate instances of players staying down to milk penalties during games.
