"Mutts, well said. I wouldn't be surprised if that's being discussed behind closed doors. It's ironic we'd be more okay with Lomax as a Warrior than a Storm. The little devil in all of us, perhaps. Imagine if he sought another release?"
"Guess if he says he didn't, it might be just a smartarse way of saying there's nothing evidentury tho :(
we all know he would've responded to that rubbish ...perhaps in a phone call."

"Well they came out and said they didn't reply. If it turns out he's lied and he did reply, they will lose all faith from the fans and clubs and Parra should go for the jugular. Then I have no doubts Abdo will need to step down."

Eels interested in Barnett
Parramatta are interested in Mitch Barnett. Now at 33 in 2027 and coming off ACL, good idea? Having Paulo and De Belin being 34 and 36 respectively is it good to have that much age? Ryles wants a Paulo replacement that can lead the forwards, Barnett…

Iongi: Recent Illicit Substance Scandals vs NRL Sanctions
Even if the Iongi photos are legitimate with alleged illicit substance use, it likely happened years ago while he was at the Panthers. It appears to be a personal smear campaign. Hopefully, we fully support Iongi. He's young and players aren't…

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?
