Just listening to Robbo talking about concussion on 2sm radio.
He is backing up his sentiment from the press conference and saying that more needs to be done in game and not having to wait until it's reviewed. He said any coach can field a team of 17 the following week however more needs to be done so the team that is a victim isn't at a disadvantage for that game on hand.
Robbo said that for the past decade teams have been coached to wrestle in the tackle and slow down the ruck. With the introduction of the 6 again rule, there is more attacking movement and stepping and due to fatigue and old tackle systems we're seeing all these head high tackles and the coaches need to change their tackling systems as soon as possible which they've been coaching for 10+ years and they need to do it now.
Graham Annesley has put all the teams on notice and advised of heavier penalties on players if these high tackles keep happening.
It was a simple phone call but always insightful from Robbo. He accepts responsibility on what is job and the coaches jobs are and they all need to get it right asap.
