"Do yourself a favour and get any ideas of finals out of your mind. It ain't happening this year. Probably not for a few years. Even if the Eels manage a win this week. "
"Dragons into raiders Aand then west tigers then a bye its possible if this bloody attack can clock"

"Yep but all 4 cant be in the team by the end of the year. No reason why they cannot push for a debut though. I have been very impressed by Mataele start to NSW Cup this year."

"Strange, that Moses knew he was out till round 9, weeks ago, but the club is only today updated the media that the timeline has been pushed back to "yes you guessed it" Round 9. Again fans treated like mushrooms."
"The never ending discussion needs v best player available.
This is why you hate Parramatta you hate them because they shouldn't be having developmental issues just by sheer weight of numbers and if we wanted a guy like Galvin we shouldn't have to…"

"It's setting up whomever wants him is going to have to go big to get him out.
Personally I see a real opportunity for alot of those young guys to grow together and if they can keep there spine together for 3-4 seasons they could be a team to watch…"

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?
