ARL Commission approves 18th man to bolster benches for concussed players – Wide World of Sports
How HIA rule can trigger extra bench option
An 18th player will be added to NRL game day squads from Round 5 after the ARL Commission this afternoon approved of the change in playing conditions.
The 18th man will be used as a concussion substitute but will only be allowed to come into the game if three of his teammates fail HIAs (head injury assessments).
In a twist to the new addition to the benches, the 18th man must be an ’emerging player’, with the definition of an ’emerging player’ still to be determined by the NRL.
