"Why the fuck did Olokuatu get benched for Lucas? Olokuatu was one of our most damaging in game 1. What an embarrassing selection tbh"

"Yes. I can't stand Slater, but he is way better than Daley."
"The spiritual beings in these books are certainly capable of taking physical form."
"Anyone know why Moses came off?"
"Yep..
Robson should have gone off with 15 to go in the first half.
AFB getting 8 minutes....
Teddy bar the miracle try in game 1 has been average.
Drops the inform second rower after 1 game..
Radley why...."

"Yep"
"When NSW were winning field position we forced errors and scored but then Cleary started taking over doing more kicks in 2nd half and Qld started dominating the field position and Moses went off. What are the chances he is hurt again.
Cleary once…"

"Sack Laurie. Does not have any counter to QLD's attack. Radley, Staggs, Lucas and maybe Tedesco should be replaced. Api should have been put in. I don't know why Oualokauto was removed. "
"Yeh he's been having a shocker as Blues coach. I don't blame Lozza though, he's a passionate blues man and a great footballer in his day. But what are the people running the show thinking? His last stint as coach wasn't enough? Last year was down to…"
"Laurie couldn't coach water out of a tap. At 24-12 we were a chance if he used his bench correctly, Strange on for Staggs, Appi on for Robson, we were tired without punch, both those players would have lifted us. Tragic"
"Just logged on to see people thoughs about origin and surprised as well, but with Daley as coach Origin is pretty uninspiring.
It's like watching Parra under BA just wondering how the hell will they score points and hoping the opposition don't go…"

Is Daley worse Origin coach ever?
Questionable selections every game, poor use of the bench and inability to inspire players.Why we went back to him I don't have a clue.

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?
