"No, I bet Ryles wanted 4/4, but i'm sure he's had his schooner of reality and is planning for a winnable Tigers game this weekend to make it 3/5. I purposely didn't watch the game because I knew what to expect from a red-hot Panthers team, if you…"
"Great blog, Pops.
A lot of really good points here, and love the premise of your blog.
So much talk of the 2-2 start, and with this draw, that does look pretty good on the surface.
But, we didn’t fight our way to 2-2, we didn’t walk away…"

"This is now Joash's opportunity, just like it was last year. He didn't let anyone down and will do a great job. Probably won't be at Iongi's level, but I don't expect it to be much behind.
Hope we get to see some broken ankles from the opposition…"

If we keep looking at that in isolation without looking any deeper, it looks great considering our draw.

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?
