"Not sure about that, but it was better than a kick in the balls."
"Thank the heavens. If we were really going after Suli I was about to lose it. It made absolutely zero sense to me.
if we can get 2 out of McClean, Jenkins, Leniu or Burton (playing center) I'll be happy."

"Nope. He's done sweet fuck all at the Bulldogs this year, and his game against us last week was terrible, I still don't think he's a 5/8."
"Do people still want Burton after this season? He's had shocker after shocker. I don't think he's a top 10 5/8 this year"
"True"
"Geez this would be a dream come true. See it when I believe it, especially that Spencer and Burton one "
"Lol.good to see you Wiz. "
"Burton, Jenkins, Lenui and Mclean are the players would be perfect to have. We need to snag one vet old player better than JDB, like a yeo or someone with those 4."
"He won't ruin the left side attack like Russell does. We need someone other than Russell next to JAC "
"Chief strikes again. You need to listen more carefully to MONs updates on TCT , he is chasing a bloke named George , a thumb wrestling champion.

"Ryley is a must "
"Jesse McLean is the winger brother. I like him still.
Leniu would be nice. Leniu, Teancum, Paulo, Tuivati. That's a pack. "

"90% sure. Haven't announced the team officially but I have been told he is in with Petrus and Ryda."
"Filled in against the tigers when pezet went off and we looked better.
Was a half in juniors I don't see it happening but he has good left foot kicker aswell"

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?
