## Resource

Paul Kent and Paul Crawley unpack the concussion and CTE debate after the Geelong waiver controversy, with Kenty arguing the game sometimes has to protect players from themselves. Plus Sam Walker's rejected Roosters offer, Robbo's reaction to the leaked contract story, whether the Roosters could be putting pressure on Walker, the PNG expansion threat, Jett Cleary's release request, Nathan Cleary's future, the Bulldogs' possible halfback play, and the pressure building again at the Wests Tigers. #NRL #RugbyLeague #PrimeTime Looking for Kenty merch?
