The team that plays on Sunday is probably worse than the team who played at Saints last season , we have hardly improved the squad in my opinion , if anyone can point me out more than 3 quality players in it then i will be astounded .

Hurrell named in the squad - how can he play with an 8 day concussion protocol?

Was Hurrell concussed? I thought i heard he had an ear injury?

Not sure. Don't think sky captured it but he was staggered like a boxer who's taken a good un after his knock. Maybe he did pass the head test after all though?

He may well have- but he was initially taken off for concussion assessment and did not return in the time period so surely the protocol must stand. He certainly looked concussed.

We will see. Pretty sure Leeds said after it was an ear injury causing a bit of dizziness. Could be wrong though.

That's my understanding from what was said on Sky.

If Hurrell took a whack around the ear it's possible he wasn't concussed and just had his equilibrium scrambled slightly, which would explain the jelly legs. It's quite common in boxing.

As none of us are doctors (I assume), and none of us are part of the Leeds medical staff (I am reasonably sure) we should not question the integrity of the protocol or the outcome.

I mean, seriously, do we now think Leeds are risking players long term safety by flying in the face of player welfare.
