If we rest him we aren't resting him for the games that matter, it's only for the $50k he takes in playing origin."

"The best players in Flegg are the ones who just moved up when SG Ball season ended, so it's not much of a jump for those players."
"Greatest 6 to ever play the game , Bert was like a Lamborghini and Ferrari all rolled onto one . "

"You got excited every time he got the ball. Anything could happen after that, and often did."
"Don't have to watch it. Simply the best. Single handedly the reason I ditched the Jets to follow the Eels. Therefore I blame Bert for 6 glorious years and forty years of heartbreak "
"Um, he works for channel nine, so don't reckon he will. He can also write his own columns."

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.
