Gold Coast Titans forward Ashley Harrison must pass cognitive test before he can play against Brisbane on Friday night
TITAN Ashley Harrison is proof of why bans for concussion in rugby league should become mandatory.
Queensland Origin forward Harrison (below) wanted to play last Sunday after being knocked out by a Richie Fa'aoso shoulder charge, but was banned by club doctor Paul Ohmsen.
Harrison suffered no headaches, no memory loss and no symptoms in the days after he was flattened.
"I felt within myself I was fine to play, but obviously he is the one with all the experience in that area and I had to take his advice," Harrison said.
"I was pretty lucky. I was fine, I didn't have any ill-effects.
"I was pretty clear in the head, but you know the doc was adamant pretty much on the Sunday that I wasn't going to play just from the severity of the head knock, and the bit of whiplash and then the head hitting the ground as well.
"I don't like them (the concussion rule), because I missed a game. But they're obviously there for a reason."
Harrison must still pass a cognitive test to play Brisbane on Friday night, while centre Brad Takairangi must pass a fitness test on his hamstring.

We must not be watching the same sport?
Even if that were true, which I have a hard time accepting that anyone would actually believe, hit ups are hardly the most important aspect of a wingers job, certainly not ahead of picking up the ball to score without falling over it like a clown.
Each to their own and all, but KG's just warming up fellas...
It was great to see Kevin Gordon bag a double against the Panthers.

I wish this magazine could be bought for android devices on the app store like RLW, as I'd dearly love to read that article.
Thats a great shot & the size difference looks about right too
#itaintweaktospeak
It is very possible that we are watching a different.
Hit ups are very close to a modern wingers most important job. They start the sets and the best teams wingers get there sets going forward better than the rest.
I do agree it seems KG is in for better year than last year though
Have we all forgotten that Harrison owes Prince a broken nose from the All Stars game?
Four reasons to escape to Queensland: Sun, Surf, Sand & the Titans.
If that's the case, we may as well have dave taylor and minichello on the wings?
I agree that getting wingers to start sets off is a good strategy employed by the best teams, but you can hardly expect them to be breaking through the line with the same frequency as bigger men.
I know stats don't tell the whole story, but if you compare the hit ups and run meters of Gordon and Mead, Gordon has made more meters per run than Mead (and Michaels) has over the first four rounds. He has 2 less line breaks than mead (1 vs 3) despite scoring the same amount of tries (3 a piece). He is well above the league average for amount of hitups taken and meters gained. I just don't see where the complaints are coming from i guess...
