Social media went berserk after the match, with angry fans demanding why Grant was not immediately taken from the field to undergo an HIA test.<\/p>\n
Dr Adrian Cohen, who has written several papers on sports head injuries as well as done many case studies, says the Storm clearly breached HIA rules.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"In incidents such as this, we are looking for clear indication of loss of consciousness," Dr Cohen told Wide World of Sports.<\/p>\n
"This can include a player being immobile on the ground, the player's neck flopping on way to the ground or the player not protecting himself on way to the ground – that is not putting an arm out to break the fall.<\/p>\n
"All three of these were present in the Grant incident and I can't believe he wasn't taken off for assessment.<\/p>\n
"The NRL is failing to adhere to its own rules. One might ask what's the point of having them?"<\/p>\n
Canterbury were fined $20,000 last week<\/a> for a delay in taking a dazed Lachlan Lewis from the field.<\/p>\n For a daily dose of the best of the breaking news and exclusive content from Wide World of Sports, subscribe to our newsletter by<\/strong><\/em> clicking here!<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Australia's leading sports concussion expert believes the Storm clearly breached the NRL's HIA protocols with match-winning hooker Harry Grant against the Roosters last night.
