What happens if Dan gets injured before Lezana returns? There needs to be a signing made at 7
Could Blade or Shings play 7 if required? 
They'd have to if Dan got injured but obviously neither are natural opensides.

Both have played 7 for their countries.  No problem. 😋

. I assume it will soon be time for Cubby’s future to be decided I suspect. It can’t go on . Dan has certainly not had a dominant game yet for us either to convince me he is the real deal  It’s worrying .

No time scale on Cubby, or any concussion case really.
He is building up his schedule each week though, so I guess that’s encouraging.

How come Cubby and Rob Evs can be out for 6+ months with concussion yet Halfpenny is still allowed to play only a few months after any of his head knocks.

I assume it’s just personal variation in the testing? I hope they’re all ok longer term

Didn't Shaun Evans come back onto the field in the second half and play in the back row yesterday?

Think, think, think - it's a thinking man's game!! - The Great Carwyn James.

It’s symptom linked, not so much time related.

It's both symptom linked and time related.  There are certain minimum periods for each of the stages in the Graduated Return to Play programme (GRTP) BUT a player will only be able to progress to the next stage if they are symptom free.

What often happens is that each time a player tries to move to a particular stage in the programme, they experience symptoms, which knock them back down a stage.

Your talking about return to play protocols in general there I think.
I’m linking my comments in reply to Cubby’s specific case. There’s no time limit or time constraint. He will play when totally symptom free.

Nic Cudd sounds an excellent short term ( till Xmas) option. We certainly need cover at 7.

What if a player does not become symptom free before the end of his contract?All players are contracted for a specific period of time,so there will always be a time limit and a time constraint,regardless of the injury.

If a player is still suffering concussion symptoms at the end of their contract the club has to decide whether a new contract is likely to be a good use of their resources, or whether the team would be better off of those resources were allocated to another player(s). That’s the same whether a player has a concussion injury or any other type of injury.

Thanks for uploading-that's certainly helped my understanding.Clearly there are minimum time periods that have to be adhered to.Having read this I'm struggling to look on the bright side tbh.

It’s a tough one if we recruit a good 7 on big wages and josh and cubby come back we are left with 3 highly paid players for one position, a short term loan would be ideal. The whole concussion issue is a difficult one for all sides to manage medically hopefully we get cubby back sooner rather than later but his heAlth must come first

There's an assumption that the club would automatically release a player with concussion at the end of his contract in that observation (or for any sort of injury for that matter).

We've had lengthy lay offs to Patchell, Rob Evans, Halfpenny, Blade Thomason and others in recent times. It's a real concern in the modern game.

I'm not assuming anything,but I am recognising the fact that any employer would,at some point in time(normally agreed or at any rate recognised)review the contractual position of any employee whose injury/illness prevents him/her from fulfilling the terms of the employment contract.To suggest that any employee could remain on the sick with "no time limit or time constraint" until such time as they are "symptom free" is absurd-or utopian!
