"Apparently not, he said any extra money made from the raffle goes to charity. Not sure how it all works but he made a post the other day on it apparently."
"Well that's what I'm saying. He said in a post this morning I think "honored to talk to Jim. Unfortunately not enough time to talk to other members" but comments tonight Jim had a go at him. Why not say that in the first place?"
"I'm not sure how much but at the time when Talkin Parra did I swear I read a post from TCT saying they did, as i remember thinking "oh so they are not just targeting Talkin Parra it's everyone". And TCT just said they will do best they can to do…"
"Sorry LB, I don't follow TCT that closely, are you saying they lost privileges to attend training."
"This Adam guy seems like a dickhead.
I'm surprised by the amount of people supporting him in comments sections with no real evidence of his claims

"Isnt this guy making kick backs from Vegas bookings for next year? At the end of the day, he just a bloke who thinks he is owed something by the club because he has a fan page."
"Jim never came up2 him. He went up2 Jim and drained him of time and energy to talk to any1 else."
"He agreed to the terms when he signed up for membership.
The terms clearly state:
14.1 The Parramatta Eels reserve the right to suspend/cancel a membership of any Member who behaves in manner that is deemed to be inappropriate. Members must always…"

"Yeah fair point, though i more so i don't think Parra would feel the need to. What it will do is just make it a slinging match. It might get to a point eventually where it might be needed if fans mutiny against them in support of Adam and Talkin'…"
"Also look who he tagged in the post 😂
Really trying to make himself to be a martyr.
None will care about that loser, and those dumb enough to care he didn't tag."

"Gives Gutho vibes when he was dragging the club through the mud during negotiations "
"LB I don't think Parra owe a statement to be made. I just think it's not fair that Adam just gets to point fingers at the club & drag its name through the mud without being able to explain there side of the story that's all.
Thats if the club gives…"

"Yeah something has happened. There are always two sides. It could be he lost access and kept going too far. TCT lost it and made a small statement saying why they wouldn't be doing their training reports as in depth due to access and moved on.

"He commented that Jim came up to him and he didn't want to talk to Jim. Talk about being about your own self importance."
"Yeah something significant & bigger has happened that Talking Parra / Adam isn't telling us or allowing to come to light I think. The club just doesn't cancel memberships for no reason & just for the sake of it unless something major has happened.…"

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?
