"I would have won a few comps with the amount of right players I want in this team mixed with our junior kids. Ben Hunt to ball play and Walker to come on after with Lorenzo at 6 and Moses at 7 we will be dominant in our attack. "
"I would say one middle, we have some kids that will start to break through next year that fill a void. If Brown kicks on like the club thinks he will that will help too. But yeah we need to get faster and better with another Winger and Centre. We…"

"Watch his carries. Bloke doesn't want to bend the line or break tackles. His lightweight hit and spin is frustrating. Slows the momentum and stuffs up any quick play the balls.

Either Volkman or Papali'i are perfectly serviceable at 5/8 for now.

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?
