Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart is adamant the welfare of Joel Edwards will be the club's sole focus when it decides whether the back rower will play this weekend after suffering back-to-back concussions.

He also said the concussion testing introduced by the NRL this year ''is probably not good enough'' and admitted the procedures made it difficult to know whether Edwards was at a higher risk against the Panthers after being knocked out the week before.

My roommates must have thought I was mad. Never one to sit down with their fellow house-dweller to watch a game of rugby league, they had no idea why I was screaming when watching Melbourne take on St George-Illawarra last Monday night
