This has been discussed on here in the past and it seems that they do not prevent concussion.

Fair enough, just never seen any evidence either way.

edit:seems there are conflicting reports online.

But surely it's worth trying?

It's time he, and Kelly, played in scrum/skull caps, for their own safety.

Is that a professional medical opinion, supported by facts, or just what you believe?

Concussion is a brain injury caused by your brain hitting the inside of your skull. If anyone can explain how a scrum cap might stop that happening I'd be interested to hear it

possibly by lessening the power of impact? a bit like air bags, but I am not a medical professional.

It has to lessen the power of impact.Thats why boxers wear them.
If i was a player i would wear one but my guess is most players wouldnt or dont like wearing them as i can imagine they take time to get used to.

A good win, any away win in SL is a good one, although we seem better away from Hull where we are unbeaten.

FB is interesting one, I have a feeling Connor might be back, if not I'd go with Hakim, Griffin has done well, but who would play centre, I don't trust Talanoa there and Scott is injured.

Its going to be a problem for us on Friday
Miloudi just cant tackle and we will be doing a lot of tackling on Friday so for me he is out of the question for the full back spot
Surprisingly Griffin has done well at Full back and although not the best defender in the world he is a better option.
Faraimo played centre for the USA so we could move him and bring Talanoa in on the wing
