"Probably is something as benign as this. Just make the click bait headline seem as though there's a player issue."
"Yer, 💯 my thinking too!"
"He is toxic, but why let him be home?
Put a Porta-loo on the training park.
Give Catto a ball and send him into said Portaloo for 6hrs of ball handling.
Repeat daily"

"No but they can approve us paying him to fuck off and it being exempt from our cap. If we are following a process to sack him based on behavior we can then apply for an exemption. "
"Didn't the club come out and say that Lomax has an injury that is still being treated. If that's the case, he wouldn't be back at training yet. "
"Still wondering what is happening with Lomax? Not entirely sold on if he's leaving or staying and MON basically said he has a contract with us when he spoke on the podcast that's it. When is supposed to return to pre-season?"
"Unless Matterson is toxic, culturally, then it just wastes a player who could depart some footy knowledge to the young guys coming through. Of course, he may well be just that.
Not sure where this goes. Maybe angling to get him to seek a release due…"

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?
