Toby Rodwell fails HIA after heavy Latrell Mitchell tackle

NRL halfback Toby Rodwell failed a head injury assessment (HIA) following a significant tackle by Latrell Mitchell at Allianz Stadium. The hit, described as a ‘hit of the year’ contender, occurred just before full-time during a recent match.

Brett Rodwell, father of Toby and former NSW centre, commented on the impact, noting that while the tackle was brutal, it was a fair contest. He observed that the player did not see the impact coming, which contributed to the severity of the hit. Despite the failed HIA, Toby Rodwell was reported to be fine following the incident.
