Can't see them playing Ponga without Walsh on the bench. Too big a risk of an early head knock and they are screwed.
His risk of an early head knock is not greater than it has been previously. When they haven't carried a bench player in case he gets knocked out.
He's been cleared by experts, I don't think we can assume anything about risks going forward.
Notably Keary and Matterson have had bad concussion history, yet they've fortunately managed to avoid frequent knocks lately, or at least serious effects from them, and... it's fine. Roosters aren't carrying a bench half because Keary could get knocked out.
