Concussion. : Sat Mar 08, 2008 11:39 pm  

What's the crack with this now ? Is there an obligitary period that King must miss now ? Like a week, 14 days etc ?

I recall on that 'League of their own' DVD, PJ was doing some 'test' to prove he was like compus mentas and okay to return to action (he looked supa bored doing it). Anybody any ideas, or does he just carry on as normal as it was only a mild concussion ?

I can`t remember mate, my memory aint what it used to be. I was knocked out unconscious recently whilst laughing at one of Padgate Wire`s posts so things are still a bit of a blur.

If my memory is serves me right i had to step down from the forum for a week.

They are tested. If they pass they play.

King will rise from the dead and be playing next week

Mathers will be hung

All SL players take a 'head test' at the start of every season to determind concious state of mind (or something along those lines) they achieve a score on that particular test/day. If they are concussed, knocked out, whatever during a game, they must retake this test before their next match and achieve the score they got when they did the test pre season.

if they achieve or exceed the score, they are cleared to play. if not, they must miss a mandatory 1 fixture (including reserves) and must re take the 'head test' again before their next match. again if they achieve the score, they play, if not they miss out...and so on.

what is the state of matt king atm? was it just concussion or is there something more serious? he looked in a bad way

The over reaction to a poor attempted tackler by a player who clearly cannot tackle but was in now way malicious.

Wire fans always make me chuckle. They cry about such challenges and yet worship malicious players like Boyd and Rathbone

I thought it was very gracious of the Wigan fans to cheer whilst King was out and also chant "There's only one Richie Mathers" what lovely folk.

If if there were two, Wigan would probably sign him as well.
