"I'd be resigning longi next until the end of 2030
i wouldn't muck around with him, he's the one they need wrap up long term.
Papali is a good back up for a fullback or in the halves."

"Good point on 5/8 Seraph. He earlier on in the year was playing too good to keep out but Iongi was playing well too so where do you put him? Train him into a role that he needs to learn on top of learning to play NRL. I never fully bought Ryles…"

Looking forward to seeing what our "war chest" is going to do to get FG regularly into the pointy end of the comp.

"Ryles is laying the foundation of the club, need to start from the bottom and work his way up. Building a core of young players who will develop and improve together. Will sprinkle in some veterans as well. "
"Knowing MON, he'd probably try and sign the clubs license over to Luai to get him to sign"
"Yet people complain we have no depth. Depth is usually NSW Cup quality players. "
"Iongi should not be mucked around with, sign him up and upgrade his cash for 2026 and 2027."
"I mean depth is always necessary. Many here complain about our depth and how we don't have it, well Papali'i can be depth.
Not saying this is you but a lot here would expect us to sign Nathan Cleary as the back-up to Moses and anything less is not…"

"Patience Frankie & Wiz, we are building. Nothing against the signing, I like the kid, but not sure what the plan would be or how he will be utilised. Don't know about 5/8... almost seems a bit like a Talagi situation - trying to get him to fit a…"
"All hail Jim Sarantonis and Mark O'Neill , the club is destined for greatness with these two . At any other club these two people don't have a job , but at Parramatta we are special and thrive on having bottom of the barrel people running things . "
"Not exactly. Samrani re-signed does that mean he is our Centre moving forward. Papali'i would be playing 6 if that is the case i reckon."
"Wow, we must really be going all in on winning the reserve grade comp next year.
'I wonder when we will turn our attention to recruiting talented first graders, surely the pool of talent is getting smaller to choose from. "

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?
