"Yeah actually think if you slow it down enough the qlder held back murray first. Penalty try if you really want to slow it down and get pedantic."
"so many on here talking crap. Cleary kicking was good and help win the game, Moses kicks goes strat to fullback or winger and they make 10 or plus metres tothe defense, thats not great kicking and doesn't win you games where Cleary kicked a 40 / 20,…"
"Well they (NSW) base their game plan around Mitchell Moses long kicking game, Strnage is a gun player but when we're in a tight grind and possession not going our way Moses can just kick us to a win with field possession."
"Everyone saying QLD blew NSW off the park in first 20 mins. The scoreboard might suggest so, but not really the case. In fact, it was only the 4-5 pathetic errors between 9-20 minutes that gifted QLD repeated good ball sets. Prior to the first shit…"
"Loz doesn't look well. 70kgs ringing wet. Look like a kid wearing his dog shirt."
"Coaches that dull the game through the middle all day is so boring and the marjority of tries are scored through moving the ball "
"Firstly we won, well done. We were in the first 40 pedestrian, Laurie played the old win the battle in the middle ploy. Kudos to him ,why have a super fast team ( koula, strange, staggs) exploit the 6 against, using our speed, if you don't use…"
"Depending on fitness, Moses should play game 2 if Daley is smart. Cleary couldn't kick us out of trouble until his 40/20. Qld started nearly every set between their 20m and 30m line as Cleary long kicking game was poor, while we played from inside…"
"The reason why Queensland scored in the first half a good place to start is to teach players to play the ball properly, for professionals to make these mistakes is embarrassing "
"In the 19. You can't possibly drop strange after his performance plus the fact they won, lucky as it was.
We're qld really as dominant as being made out?, sure they were absolutely red hot for the first 20 minutes and nsw were absolutely terrible…"

"When referring to elite, generational talent, whatever $$ it takes, Coryn. "
"Laurie is about is good as Mal Meninga...just that Mal didnt have to do shit for 8 years ..another coaching myth"
"Yep keep Mitchell Moses out of Origin..He has nothing to prove..Hes needed more in club games"
Remember Rodney Hogg
Rodney was a late arrival to Test cricket at age 27. Born in Victoria he was overlooked by state selectors and moved to Adelaide to find an earlier path to Shield.He was selected and within a year he was noticed by Alan Davidson who mentioned his…

Which players in the NRL do you see as being a value investment that you would like to see Parramatta sign? Often when we discuss player signings, we talk about a player's rumoured market price and their current form. Is that how we should be…

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?
