Melbourne Storm HIA History 2022

[Fozz]

The question was asked in the Finals Week 1 thread, how many HIAs have the Storm had this season especially for Jesse Bromwich?

Round	Player	Minute	Returns
3	J. Bromwich	68	Yes
5	NAS	15	Yes
5	Paps	33	Yes
6	R. Smith	38	No
9	J. Bromwich	72	NA (Last 15)
10	B. Smith	39	Yes
11	J. Bromwich	21	Yes
14	K. Bromwich	12	Yes
17	G. Anderson	4	Yes

In summary: 20 of which 15 came back on. 2 of the 5 that didn't were in the last 15 minutes, of the 3 remaining only one was a forward.

Most HIAs? J. Bromwich with 5 (4 passed, one in the last 15 minutes so no return), little bro with 4 just behind (one no return, one in the last 15 minutes).

That does look terrible as suspected. But it is kind hard to get a gauge on how bad it is without knowing any other teams stats.

NSWRL would quite likely be keeping the HIA stats hidden... everyone in the world knows it's a rort, but it's basically a rort in every sport due to CTE

I'll compare two teams, the Panthers who also push the rules and the Roosters who actually have problems with HIA.

Panthers:

Round	Player	Minutes	Returns
4	V. Kikau	65	NA (Last 15 mins)
9	V. Kikau	17	Yes
12	S. Crichton	18	Yes
12	J. Salmon	33	Yes
16	V. Kikau	11	Yes
19	S. Crichton	70	NA (Last 15 mins)
20	R. Jennings	28	No
22	M. Eisenhuth	21	Yes
22	S. Leniu	63	Yes
25	J. Hopgood	10	Yes
25	S. O'Sullivan	70	NA (Last 15 mins)

Kikau off three times (two returns, one in the last 15 minutes). 11 in Total with 7 returning.

Round	Player	Minutes	Returns
1	V. Radley	25	No
1	B. Smith	53	No
2	S. Tupouniua	46	No
5	N. Butcher	45	No
7	V. Radley	38	Yes
9	S. Walker	60	Yes
10	S. Tupouniua	72	NA (Last 15 min)
12	J. Suuali	56	No
14	L. Keary	29	No
14	S. Walker	46	Yes
15	N. Butcher	14	No
15	L. Collins	21	Yes
16	V. Radley	72	NA (Last 15 min)
18	S. Taukeiaho	11	No
19	N. Butcher	12	Yes
20	L. Collins	26	No
21	V. Radley	17	Yes
21	S. Verrils	64	No
24	V. Radley	71	NA (Last 15 min)

Roosters with 19 with only 6 returning. Radley 5 times (returns twice, two times was the last minutes).

Roosters seem to be the worst case scenario with so many outs, almost exactly the inverse of the Storm. Draw your own conclusions.

 

[Nashy]

They need to start recording which doctor makes the call to take them off. Club or NRL.

Seems to be a whole lot of forwards going off for HIA's and then returning, but **** all backs returning from a HIA.

If a player gets HIA’d 3 times in a season, regardless of return or not, should have to sit out 2 weeks to recover

It would need to be at least two independent doctors though as there is plenty of room to pay off doctors to call of player needlessly. It happens now in fact. I've seemn some players pass the onfield (and at times not even be bothered by one) only to then get called off by the independent doctor.

Good shout. The Melbourne one’s I’m thinking of are all self assessments from the trainer.

 

[Morkel]

I'm so disillusioned by the NSWRL's corruption that we could have iron-clad proof and Vlandys will have a half-baked excuse to allow it.
