after a seemingly innocuous blow in the first half of the match.
The dazed 28-year-old was taken from the field for an HIA but it was declared he had passed protocols and he subsequently returned to the field and finished the match.he ruled himself out of the final two State of Origin matches"As hard as it was, it is the right call based on the fact that I have had a few knocks this year," Cordner said in a statement.
"I feel really good after Wednesday's game; I've pulled up fine. I have no concerns about the knock in game one. I passed the HIA test and was happy to return to the field. "The decision is more precautionary than anything. It has been a big year and now I can just rest up and relax with a good break coming up. I will be leaving camp today."Cordner suffered his first bout of concussion in the Sydney Roosters' round eight loss to the Melbourne Storm.Cordner sat out for a further five weeks, consulting a specialist about headaches, before returning in round 16.
What? But the NRL has watched Cordner, Friend and Keary cop concussions for 3 years and no warning to Roosters (or themselves)? .
