"Well Parrafan, technically you can do that in game without changing the numbers. But why let Pezet be chief playmaker?"
"You know what lb I'm having a similar feeling, yes we've played bad. But I feel like this team progresses through the wins, if they snag one here I wouldn't be surprised if we go a winning streak."
"I believe we are losing tackles 1-2 and then struggle to regain the set and use up a lot of juice rolling away in the ruck . I think we are not dominating the first two tackles after the Moses kick. Some of those great kicks also hit fullbacks who…"
"It's and easy fix put Pezet in the 7 and Moses in the six. Pezet plays more as a natural 7 instead of a eyes up type six. I said this before Lorenzo should have made his debut this year insTead of wasting him in reserve grade."
"I would argue our starting middles are. We regain a lot once Walker, Tuivait and Doorey come on, then slowly go back to before once they are off."
"For some reason i feel we can trouble them and even a win wouldn't surprise. Call me a biased optimist, just a feeling. But it could backfire, though that's the way it goes."
"That 10 minutes, when we were down to.12 men and st george were camped inside our 20 - that proves we've come a long way since the bush coach days.

"We capitalised with our chances, they did not. That was the difference. Was it the case of best team lost? i would argue not necassarily as both teams gave their opponents chances, we took our chances compared to them."
"Well put Carlo, I had no idea, you should be very proud and I know you are!"
"Coryn, you make it sound like the Club just let DB and Lomax go. DB was offered a deal he couldn't refuse and I guarentee you if we matched it and fucked our salary cap (like Newcastle have done) eveybody on here would be screaming for MON's head!As…"

Gus: Eels Showed "Real Grit"
Curled up in the foetal position, the noise is getting louder from some of our punters. Drop Pezet. Move him on. He’s been labelled “a mistake” by some, along with the usual tomatoes thrown at R&R, the team, and the front office. But not Talyn Da…

Charlie Guymer send off
I know we won, but the Jacob Liddle "strip" penalty at the 24:21 to go mark needs to be called out as a failure of the ref's knowledge of the rules.A penalty restart cannot legally occur until the referee has officially designated the mark. Yet, as…

Sneaky ploy which makes Panthers defense so good.
Willie Mason is onto something. The Panthers give away a set restart on the first tackle if they lose the contact. They value getting their line set, and not allowing the opposition any momentum that they're prepared to give away a 6 again on the…

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?
