"Not much to like about our chances of keeping Knights under 50. "
"Hes a great coach with the worst roster and he still gets them up for games, he's beaten quality sides that some sides struggle to play. Give him a world class roster he'd be playing finals every year, but the front give him ron massey cup roster."
"It's just how they have done the presentation. Nothing to see here."
"Can we stop being so dramatic. Paulo has one year left at most he ain't going anywhere. I highly doubt Ryles leaves unless it is for Melbourne and even then unlikely to relocate. Fox wont go. Moses is the only one who could ask to get out.…"
"Not sure if you are or not. All i know, based on information given, was that Ryles pulled out due to Dragons getting involved in who he hired as assistants and their say on recruitment. He also wanted a 5 year deal and they were only going to go…"
"I was being sarcastic."
"I reckon if we don't sign Burton and some other elite talent i think Ryles, Fox and Moses also paulo walk. The people at front office doing this club no favours at all."
"Have they switched Tuilagi and Kautoga sides? I wonder if it is to try them with different defensive supports, because both have been weak links but Tuilagi especially. Maybe JAC can tidy up when he lets 3 or 4 line breaks go past him.
What sides…"

"Some journo said it after bellamy stayed on as storm coach and parra became available. More or less he didn't want to miss out on this opportunity.i believe ryles did at first agree to coach saints but backed out thinking he would get the storm gig.…"
"I hope so as well. If not then yeah go for your life in knocking them as you can't defend it."
"Where did he say he regretted it? I saw an article saying he had no regrets at all declining St. George Illawarra.

"There is plenty of quality players able to negotiate on November 1st. The new teams and new broadcast deal being negotiated mean the really good players and agents held off on signing as values will go up. I know Parra like every other club have…"
"Might be a deal with Burton or Xerri. Lose tuivati gain a dog or 2."
"EA I haven't heard you mention Famui that much. Seems his highly rated."
"We ended the year in 2026 putting 60 on knights. Expect them to return the favour this week. "
"It has to be brought up. It forms part of the context around why I support them."

Daley “Moses injury is so minor he could probably play for Parra this weekend”
So basically it looks like maybe the eels and Moses have decided to pull him out of the game. It's more a tightness in the hamstring and playing it safe.

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?
Maggie, Both Ray and Brett Kenny need a Swahili interpreter on hand at all times.
