"He is out of form I think and his goal kicking is horrendous we should have never let footy Dean go he was twice as good as Pezet dumb move "
"The loss of Lomax has been detrimental "
"We need a Toovey investigation into this"
"Then he should have been given the opportunity. I thought Pezet can as well but he'd probably drop the ball too many times putting it on the tee"
"Penrith cheat a lot and get away with it "
"Apparently Twidle kicks goals. "
"Really don't understand why the Eels coaches don't have a quality back up goal kicker"
"Maybe some pee pants might help this deplorable eels side "
"True Moses goal kicking has been off all year. Don't think he's 100% It's ridiculous how the Eels don't have good back up goal kickers when the points are so important "
"Technically true but all defense moves when the ball is placed on the ground. That's standard now. To gift a side the game because of it that's next level stuff. "
"Comparing the obvious super fitness of the Panthers and the obvious fitness of the Eels team. But I guess with the Panthers being expert 'ref controllers' they often get better rub of the green which equals less fatigue "

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?
