  • Hope he didn't get them from our doctors .
    • Nah the manly doc dropped by
  • That's no good. Hope he's OK.

  • Headline says 'overdose'
    Article says adverse reaction

    Massive difference between the two.
    Media are grubs
    • So is it at all possible this wasn't intentional and could end up being another Rabbitohs players scenario ? Are we just relying on our ever so acurate media reports ?

      Geez, might change a few opinions if so .
    • Exactly just having this argument with idiots on facebook.Overdose on Drugs or accidentally overdose on Prescription Medication 2 different things
  • Also a report on fox saying he is keen to take on the dogs tonight .... can it be just whats he needs ...Anyway C'MON Parra !!
    • If the blokes keen then let him play , just monitor him afterwards and all week . Can't see what damage letting him play footy can do . I guess the person who knows him best is BA so hopefully he is making this decision and not some pen pusher from HR or The NRL .

      A scarier thought is that it's The NRL holding him out due to it being a breach type thing .
    • Nope, if he plays poorly it coule damage his mental state even further and make him more depressed. 2 weeks til the next eels game, see how he's doing then..
  • Was apparently photographed at Sydney airport this morning.
    Get well foz.

"I did modern day as 1998 onwards as I didn't see them play, as some here haven't. Where I believe majority of people here have seen all the modern day players play.
Plus it frees up some spots like we all know who 5/8 will be but now no idea."
