Wayne Bennett thinks that elite playmakers being pole-axed behind play is just normal rugby league, and anyone who thinks the laws should protect them is a "drama queen let out of the cage".

When a game is permanently concussed, it's little wonder that if a player is shown two fingers and he says "Half-past-three and no sugar thanks", he is sent back on the field.
