As the new season approaches, it’s interesting to see what the RFL do about the head injury protocols. We are already behind what they do in Australia. Our officials make incorrect decisions, infuriating us fans. In the NRL, more ‘report’ calls are made and the injury rules are severe, insisting that any contact with the head is deemed illegal and warrants a sin-binning – look at the Australia v Samoa World Cup Final match. Why are we behind Aussies? Will this always be the case or will the RFL ever take responsibility for their actions The question I’d like to ask is are the protocols keeping up with the way the sport is played?
As part of my university degree, I would like to learn your thoughts on the impact of the RFL head injury protocols on your engagement in the sport as a rugby league fan as part of a research study. The study is being conducted by Reece Wysthoff from Liverpool John Moores University. You are asked to take part in this research through responding on this forum as you are a regular contributor within the members’ area. Your participation is entirely voluntary. If you are happy to take part, please comment on this forum. Your answers will help us to develop a greater understanding of fan’s perceptions of the head injury protocols, how these have impacted on your satisfaction watching the game, along with your thoughts about the future of the protocols. Your answers will be treated confidentially and the information you provide will be kept anonymous in any research outputs/publications. Your data will be held securely on a LJMU protected network/drive. All data will be deleted by 31st July, 2023.The project has been reviewed and approved through the formal Research Ethics procedure at Liverpool John Moores University. For further information, or if you have any queries, please contact the lead researcher Reece Wysthoff via email - r.wysthoff@2020.ljmu.ac.uk. If you have any concerns that cannot be resolved through the lead researcher, please contact my dissertation supervisor Clint Godfrey via email – c.d.godfrey@ljmu.ac.uk. Thank you for taking the time to participate in this survey. Your help is very much appreciated.

I think the RFL is not yet up to speed with its head injury protocols as is proven with how Australia handle it. I believe that the RFL should consult with specialist professionals around the subject of head injuries as it does not feel like they understand the severity of them. From this, it may result in stricter implications for head injuries, and better protocols moving forward.
