"Sorry to hear about that mate, absolute shit but not surprising behaviour from pure wolves. Hopefully some unfortunate karma heads their way."
"Let's hope they're released and the shady deals in these emails are made public. Looking forward to everyone getting a view of the shady underbelly of Melbourne Storm's activity behind the curtain."
"Let the cheats whinge all they like... it's simple give us a player of equal value. Money is useless unless it goes off the cap. Get that through or shit for brains head. "
"Good point too HOE"
"Exactly my thoughts, we're going to need to pay whoever comes in, so it proves there is some stashed money aside."
"Yeah really hope so. But I don't think it would negate the actual offer, if it's not worded explicitly whst we would consider an 'adequate exchange' in deal. Know we used "football program" but not sure if that doesn't include cash to fund football…"
"Haha feels good doesn't it! Im surprised they haven't dropped the idea ...of course unless there's anything in emails that might've been stated re deal in previous times, back when they were feeling cocky. Or why wouldn't thry release??"
"Haha! Agreed! It's one area where we definitely out do them...our chairman's email definitely outdoes the dodgy bros sooky chat here! Bravo Beach! Can pick this blab to pieces if we'd like to for sure."
"It might be irrelevant if it's proven that Lomax and his agent gave false and misleading information to Parramatta in order to obtain the release in thew first place. "

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?
