"Penisini was not our problem last week. I know he makes a few dumb mistakes, but we have bigger problems than him. "
"Stats aren't everything, but:
Penisini V the Storm

PCM's - 52 (Eels 2nd best - Kitione 62m)
Tackle Breaks - 6 (Eels 2nd best - Iongi 7)
Line breaks - 2 (Eels best, we only had 3 all up)

"Well said, Coryn.
If those figures (850k/900k) are accurate, you’d think it’s for this season also - which is possible with the compassionate reasoning?
I doubt Samrani is really being offered but we are a far better team with Barnett than without…"

"Maybe Penisini has been traded to the warriors for Barnett lol"
"I think the situation says more about Samrani 's rise rather than what's happening with Penasini "
"Well done Samrani. About time Will was dropped. Horrendous defender, slow, can't pass."
"Not sure if he is dropped. More likely copped a knock. But if he is dropped, it shows Ryles doesn't give a you know what about feelings of playerrs."
"Id be shocked if he was dropped. We were terrible last week. You don't just drop 1 person after that to prove a point. Could have picked up a niggle we didn't see or something at training. "
"For Depth? Like everyone claims we don't have enough of
"
"
"I mean better to have more bodies with experience than not. If you don't play them then so be it but if really need him he is there."
"So why'd we sign Kelly can someone explain that to me?"
"Your last part about a thrashing, not saying you are wrong to think that but how sad is it that coming into the season we see this game full strength as being hard, might lose but close. To now with pretty much the same team it is can only see…"
"Simonsson has played his best football for the club at Centre. 2023 he had a great season playing Centre. "

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?
