Dolphins<\/a> coach Wayne Bennett<\/a> has expressed his confusion over the decision to allow Tom Trbojevic to return this Friday after he was ruled to have suffered a category one concussion in State of Origin I.<\/p>\n

The Manly fullback was cleared by the NRL after lobbying from Manly's club doctor Paul Bloomfield<\/a>, and will hope to lift the Sea Eagles up the ladder from 10th when they take on the Dolphins in Brookvale.<\/p>\n

Players that fail a HIA\ufeff have to sit out for 11 days under new concussion protocols introduced this year, but Trbojevic's symptoms weren't considered severe enough.<\/p>\n

Bennett, who will now have to try combat Trbojevic's potency, was unsure about how the decision came about. \ufeff<\/p>\n

"\ufeffI don't know what to make of it actually, this position we have on head injuries, I'm a bit confused by it," he said at North Sydney Oval.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After the decision was made, Manly CEO Tony Mestrov said the fullback's welfare was the club's first priority.<\/p>\n

When asked if he'd allow the same outcome for his own players, Bennett wasn't willing to compare with Manly's decision. <\/p>\n

"\ufeffIt depends, I don't know all the background to it but he looked like he'd taken a pretty heavy knock," Bennett said of the incident towards the end of last week's Origin game.<\/p>\n

"All I know is they put the rules in to protect the players and just hope they make the right decision."<\/p>\n

However, Bennett did describe the concussion protocols as "muddy" when trying to make sense of the NRL's decision to allow Trbojevic to return. \ufeff<\/p>\n

"They're muddy, don't worry about that," he said.<\/p>\n

"That's the problem, they make the rules and then the same people that make the rules … they put doubt in your mind about how serious they are about what they're doing."<\/p>\n
