Will - Thoughts on interventions to prevent concussion? Neck strength, head gear, load management?

Ethan - after a full shoulder dislocation will players always get surgery at some point or can you avoid it completely?

Emmet - When you guys talk about hands on tests, what are you feeling for?

Harry - What takes longer to recover from - ACL or achilles?

Matt - Can the Roosters win the premiership without Sam Walker?

Jack - If you were a coach of the top 4 or 8 how would you approach this last week with restings? Seeing Sam Walker go down makes me think the injury risk is so big
