There was frustration from the Titans with the referee calling time off as Tino Fa’asuamaleaui was crossing the line off the next play the ball.<\/p>\n

However, the seriousness of the situation took over as a long delay followed.<\/p>\n

Post-match, Dragons coach and Kyle’s father Shane Flanagan admitted his son was “agitated” and knocked out for possibly five minutes.<\/p>\n

“He’s been taken to hospital. Someone said he was unconscious for five minutes so that’s a big concern. He’s rang his mum and his wife and they’re taking him for precautionary X-rays,” he said.<\/p>\n

The coach was unable to confirm if there was any neck damage after he was taken off in a brace. <\/p>\n

Lyhkan King-Togia was the man who came on for Flanagan and at the time the Dragons were leading 14-12.<\/p>\n
