[Mozz]

How come Spence wasn't in the squad for yesterday's game?

Heard he’s off to Lincoln??

I’ll try again.

serving concussion protocol, as he was concussed when he went off v Salford on boxing day he is unavailable for 14 days afterwards

Well said Adam,a level head amongst all these stupid rumours.Anybody with an ounce of intelligence would realise when a player suffers a head injury their is a recovery period which has to be served before a player is allowed to play again subject to a medical examination.

If that was the case, Mnoga of Salford went off with concussion before halftime but was in their team against Harrogate and they used 6 subs. Doesn't make sense or am I missing something?

Is the 14 days an absolute or is it based on medical assessment?
Sounds like they pulled a fast one perhaps? If it's there and rules can be bent then teams and players will use this to an advantage?

Wrt to the substations and comments about players being tired, are some of them not fit enough to play for 90 minutes? And if not, why not?

These boys are fit it's more about the amount of games they are being asked to play in a short period of time. Four games in 10 days takes its tole. There was no need for the game on the 29th and this Saturdays games should have been moved to Sunday IMO given them more recovery time. Paying customers want to see players playing to there optimum and cramming four games into 10 days does not allow that.

Same for all the other teams in the league
