Sydney Roosters star Luke Keary has thrown his support behind the controversial practice of independent doctors being in the NRL Bunker, claiming players cannot be trusted when concussed.
The issue is the hottest in the game after a chorus of coaches, led by heavyweights Ricky Stuart and Wayne Bennett, criticised the independent doctor for being overly conservative in ordering players off for head injury assessments (HIAs) during last week's opening round of matches.
Canterbury's Cameron Ciraldo and Newcastle coach Adam O'Brien also voiced their concerns, while Phil Gould on Monday night declared last year's introduction of an independent doctor "the greatest abomination perpetrated on our game in history".
