"It's not just that, LB. Luai will cost more than Galvin. Then, if he demands POs, it's game over. Can't see it happening. Poor value, potentially.

"We went all in for Galvin, we had Fletcher and Lorenzo and still went for Galvin. So if a great player is a chance and Ryles likes them they will go for them."

"Lomax was replaced by Simonsson, who would probably have left otherwise. We use Lomax's money to sign a replacement for Simonsson and spend the difference elsewhere in the roster."
"It's good therapy, Clayton. A community service, so to speak. Better here than at home. No sane wife would put up with too much Poo Bombing (or maybe too much Unicorn lol). And they'd lock all the doghouses too not just the doors and windows. LOL. "

"Good blog, Bluey.
I like Luai, and he could cover 6-7. My queries are on the fit, value and/or timing.
Would Ryles go all in for Luai, and be prepared to lose talent we're developing in our pathways? Lorenzo, Risati, or even Paps.
Why would he come?…"

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?
