"Yes, without a doubt. He is horrible.
Can't understand why we gave him a second chance. Fair enough during the Maroons golden area, he only got 1 series win. However 2026 and 2025 should've been NSW wins. We were the better team on paper and his…"

"Badger, did AFB play? Search warrant is out and a $60k reward for his two match payments."
"Size. Speed. Power. Commitment. We were missing all four. Get rid of Tedesco, To'o, Staggs, Cleary, Robson, Lucas, Yeo (plodder at this level) and Barnett (at an absolute minimum). Daley's selections and coaching style are deplorable. How did he…"
"8 wins, 12 losses. 1 series win, 5 series losses. Daley's coaching record @ SOO level speaks for itself.

"Interesting sideline in those observations Adam, he sort of implies he was a "failed coach" and so one of the takeaways is that being a top coach in itself doesn't mean your are a top "recruiter" or vice versa......after all those coaches came to…"

Is Daley worse Origin coach ever?
Questionable selections every game, poor use of the bench and inability to inspire players.Why we went back to him I don't have a clue.

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?
