Because of the increased fitness/muscle mass of players these days i would suspect that the collision speed/impacts are harder. Plus with us now living in a blame/claim culture people are more worried about such cliams.
Just a thought.
But we have taken away shoulder charges which were regularly used to knock an opposition player to kingdom come. The game has never been more sterile IMO.
Is it time RL players were forced to wear helmets like the NRL?
Not sure if you're a troll or just chatting BS because of 'bro science' syndrome.
If you'd read any of the research on CTE in sport (especially the stuff related to the NFL) then you'd realise the helmets provide no protection from concussions.
Why engage or bring up a topic if you haven't read up on the science behind it?
