"Maybe, Coryn. You have a point.
When comparing transformation from a 6 to a 7, I’d point to two factors. One, Brown’s long kicking game will hold him back. Two, character may. Brown seems more laid-back, while Moses seems far more intense and…"

"Remind you of anyone chief he's wearing the 7 jersey for Parra now."
"He doesn't have the temperament to do what Moses or Cleary does. He is clearly a player off the cuff player who must have a class organising 7 inside him. "
"Blaise has been good most of the year for Riff.
No difference it's just a time thing but I agree he was good last night and isn't over awed playing on the big stage.

"Talagi has talent. But his lateral defence and decision-making is a weakness. He was a weak-link in Penrith's vulnerable left-edge. In his last 3 games, including against NZ he missed 22 tackles (10,6,6) along with plenty of ineffective tackles (6…"

"I thought the kiwis deadset stole that game in that first 20 minutes of the second half the Samoan side were winning the arm wrestle and created at least 3 opportunities they blew.Kiwis just took there opportunity in the second half when it arose."
"Was a great game and can't say I was a little salty thst both sixes were ours. They both played huge rolls.
yep that kick in context also was an absolute pearler. The kid has huge faith in himself.

"I cannot see Ryles dropping what he's just begun. Not only would it be a short-sighted career move, he's just built his team, he's a part of it now. No coach would drop that opportunity to create something his own and not realise his own vision,…"
"Yeah but they are just plain wrong!
reckon he'll be up there with very best of them sooner than usual for a young one. Expiierencing a gf in his first year will go a looong way too!"

"It’d be foolish to argue the Eels don’t perform miles better with Moses than without.
It just shows the value of having that on-field general. Someone with a strong kicking game who lifts confidence & belief.
It's also why Dylan doesn’t come close…"

"Now that he has a NRL head coaching gig, he would be silly to go to Melbourne. With the Storm, the only way is down. It's a lot harder to stay at the top and with Paps/Munster possibly leaving soon, they are 1-2 players away from dropping. With…"
"Dont say that AE. Talagi is a shit and overrated player on this site."
"Well yeah maybe, not once did i say Ryles will be coaching Melbourne."
"Our usual cynicism aside for a moment, I respect the raw honesty from Simmo.
It reminds me of the way he was, with and without the ball, when he came back from injury earlier this year. Direct. Kamikaze. Full of gutso.
It’s also all aligns with how…"

How the Bailey Simonsson Rift Was Healed: Looking in the Mirror

Ray Price sounded so fried when he was speaking. My young bloke wants to play league next year, jury is still out for me if I let him.
Shit poppy, that was a bit harsh. Feel free to have a crack at me, but taking a dig at the intelligence of my son is a bit low.
My earliest memory of the eels is my old man making me watch the 86 GF. When pricey and crow were chaired off, my old man was crying. So, either dad love them, or he had a horrible foreboding of the priemership drought to come :)
Concussions were poorly understood in Ray's day. Given the era and position he played in, he likely had a number of concussions, especially when you take into the fact players like Matty Johns said he had about 10 or so through his career.
But concussions aren't the biggest issue here. The biggest issue is repeated sub-concussive impacts. Those hits that rattle you but don't give you a complete concussion. It's like a boxer taking small jabs throughout a fight. The more of those they take the higher chance of a KO. What Dr. Omalu found was that those repeated minor head traumas had more of an impact on later quality of life than the larger, more infrequent hits.
I do know that the NRL is actually seen as one of the better concussion managers in professional sport. Their HIA system and protocol is seen as one of the most stringent and most closely abides by the recommendations from medical professionals. It's also why I don't think we'll see a class action against the NRL. Unlike the NFL, as far as we know, the NRL has tried to address the long term impacts of concussions as soon as they became aware of them.
What would you change poplet?
