"Pezet had 3 runs, 5 kicks, 2 errors, and 3 try assists. Let's be frank, two of his try assists were fluke kick/regather efforts by others and his try a fluke kick/regather by himself. Ryles played possum about what he has to work on in the press…"
"Naah. JDB and Kelly are good options, but they are here to take the sting and lessen the pressure on younger players with higher potential. They should be alright being jersey 18 and 19 every matchday but it won't hurt their development if they…"
"We had 20% of the ball their first stint on the field.
Expecting both to get better as the season goes on . Game is too quick for the best of middles at the moment . "

"I feel JDB needs to start, towards the end when JBD came back on our defence felt more a bit clean through the middle."
"Tuivaiti to start, and Junior on the bench could be a really easy fix. Honestly, I haven't seen Tui have a bad game yet, give him the start and see how he handles it."
"When he picked up that loose ball, last year he burned everyone to the tryline."
"If we work on D we will be a decent side."

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?
