"RIght and if you read my response i say 2nd tier deal, basically nothing. NSW Cup deal practically."
"Definitely wouldn't be taking anything to the NRL, and 100% agree with Ryles not saying anything in the presser (outside the Hopgood sinbin) too.
When you lose 52-4 you lose the right to demand answers around officiating. Thats on the Eels.

"What I take away from that game is that the Eels spent the entire off-season learning how to completely forget how to play a first grade standard of football, and the evidence is the Eels' diabolically bad second half.

"Nah Ryles roster management has been good so far, bar not being able to attract anyone. Kearney single-handedly destroyed our cap for years."

"Right and if we signed Jenkins when out of favour many here would have chastized the club for a dumb signing. Hindsight is wonderful."
"Lomax would easily got to Penrith, but they will have him on the Wing. "
"Jake wont get a spot anywhere else, we can easily sign him to a 2nd tier deal."

"Yea Miller was lifting blokes and dragging them back in defence. Looked like a man against boys. Looks fit for his size as you mentioned. As PT mentioned he has enormous raps on him at tigers before being sacked and losing his way a bit. Last year…"
"Petrus could get a spot for PNG in the WC."
"Izack Tago's best is behind him. Scared to make a tackle with his plastic shoulder. Should have scooped up Jenkins cheap when he was out of favour last season."

Stephen Kearney vibes from Gomer Ryles.
Assistant coach to Craig Bellemy pretty much means piss boy to the head coach. It's a little too familiar. The Storm arrogance without Uncle Craig in charge. Gomer Ryles got out in spades

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?
