"I think one of Jenkins or McLean comes. Simonsson, Penisini and Samrani and Kelly sorta have the right side sorted for 2027 at least. Unless Penisini does leave indeed.

"Yeah Blore has had a great year with Storm........as Lisati beat him in pre-season for the second row spot before he got hurt.
Blore is fine but can tell he is Melbourne system player. Take him out see how he goes. If we got him I doubt he improves…"

"Shawn Blore sucks at everything but defence"
"Though even if it is a first line back-up, can do much worse."
"Perhaps Jenkins at Centre on the left? I mean a bit odd as his best footy has been on the Wing. Then you'll have a face off between Simonsson and McLean for the Wing spot.
Dint count out Bloomfield as JAC's replacement, if he doesn't leave for Union."

"Yeah just need that agro. Someone who is mad as a cut snake. We have workers but not much in terms of pure power."
"Yeah I can see them reinstating Tago to Centre next year and moving Alamoti to the Wing."
"Add in Talagi and Koina coming through in next two years."
"McLean as a Centre could be different, or even just bringing him in as competition for Simonsson. Never a mistake to add competition."
"Not sure it's the same people holding both arguments is it Daz?
FWIW I would adore if our entire first grade side was called up for Rep duty. I'd be super happy to play terribly for a few rounds a year and be invincible for the rest.
Worked well for…"

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?
