Given all the head knocks and concussions/possible concussions we have sustained this year, should we make all team members wear Thurston style head gear?

On a lighter note, it would probably give the Princess a real advantage as he now has experience in wearing a heavier & more cumbersome NFL helmet. A soft head guard would be a breeze in comparison.
Correct Brick.. When I was younger I sailed a bit.. We out foam on the boom (metal pole that holds the bottom of the sail)..
The only difference between a metal boom and foam padded boom was how much blood you lost.. Concussions are the result of the brain bouncing around in your skull.. Physics means any big impact will cause a bounce..
Eventually, all players will be forced to wear modified nfl style headgear.
The amount of concussions in every game has increased significantly, with up to 8 per match.
It will take an unforseen event to permanently change things.
"The PNG national squad always does OK, plus the grassroots are already established. Plus, the entire country loves the game. I'd be more optimistic of PNG fielding a compettiive side over Perth. "
"Need way more than that, majority of the players signed would be their depth. Even that is rubbish. As Johnny mentioned too, juniors will be hard to come by.
Look at their last two signings. Sorensen and Talakai. Sorensen is a fine signing for…"

Come on, aren't most of them merely a free ticket to a free interchange?

They should bring in NFL style helmets. lol imagine that!
Absolutely not, its up to the player, that would be some serious overkill yobz, sorry mate, not a fan.
I think Nappies will become mandatory the way the game is going.
Paul Kent started a trend?
