MySideline Manager: Injury Reporting /
Product/Service: | MySideline Manager |
Permission Required: | NRL.com Account with Club or Team Admin Permission |
MySideline Manager has the ability to report and record injuries that occur during a match or at training.
To report an injury, you will need to have access to MySideline Manager.
In the case where an injury cannot be entered at the time of the incident, paper forms can still be used to record injuries, however they must be entered into MySideline by the Club or Association.
A player requires a Medical Clearance following any form of concussion/suspected concussion, as well as for various other circumstances/conditions. Find out more about the Return to Play process in the Related Articles below.
