"Going on my previous post.
We lead 3/4 categories in negative plays.This might improve as our younger players get better but wont change drasically until we sign QUALITY and not bums left by the bins by other clubs."

"There was a play, I think Eels last set close to Raiders line where Tapine was so far offside, he was almost with the Eels attack - it was blantantly obvious yet they refused to call anything"
"like many have mentioned the grit and ruck control were the highlight for me the compressed middle and discipline on the edge were definite standouts and a much deserved result for the grit on display.

"It's a joke. It's obvious who the refs want to win. With no 6 agains, the ref is basically saying that the Raiders were always back 10 and markers were square every single ruck for 80 minutes "
"I love Volkman's demeanour, he is so calm and level no matter what is going on in the game - at least that's how he appears on the outside. Moses doesn't do a good job of hiding his emotions and I believe it has an effect on those around him. I…"
"So happy for the win. They have played their guts out vs Knights, Dogs and Raiders so we deserved a win.
There is a lack of quality and playing their guts out won't save us when we can't complete sets because of park footy knock- ons.
We desperately…"

"He is a space cadet. Ryley gives us so much more."
"All the arguments and negativity....apologies guys what a WIN GO PARRA ....one thing we may fight and disagree a great night"
"Sanders showed tonight he has a long way to go still. He was average at best."
"Issue is, he is playing well lately, but also playing for a contract. If you can have him on a 1 year deal, sure why not. But on a long term deal could be a risk."
"The touchy called that one."
"Totally get where you're coming from. I can't help but think how good he can be when he wants to. "
"I understand where your coming from Angry but I still think we'd be better off using that roster spot for someone who will take that opportunity and prove they belong. He has a poor commitment level and professionalism."
"The forward pass one was a deadset disgrace. I was in line with it. Went back 2m"
"Oh my beautiful boys....a win! But getting punished by ziggy relentlessy with 6agains but alas none for us, our defence won us the game. and wthout a goal-kicker in the side. What about our 1st try. Samrani can do that, always surprising the…"

DISGRACEFUL REFEREEING AGAIN!!!
I think it's fair to say the NRL has it in for us.No 6 agains for the Eels every game.This game with a few minutes to go, the ref clearly calls the marker not square on a delayed call, the Eels challenge and he says you can't challenge, it was a 10m…

Besides pride and bragging rights, the R.S. Cup is at Stake. Both met at Parramatta once in a blue moon. Twice in a decade. This is one to frame. Both are struggling. One win separates them. The Raiders have won two of their last five. The Eels…

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?
