"To be honest considering we are happy to be cucked by Brisbane and Anastta with Peasant , why wouldn't we tell Lomax Timmy for us in 2026 and we'll happily release him to Bears in 2027 . "
"They've got no one to trade us if we release him from his contract. Good luck Perth ahah"
"Not a coco pop or a rice bubble?"
"Well they can make a play but we want something in return. If we let him go for nothing in return then MON and the board will then have my support in getting them out immediately."
"Every team will make a play mad if we let them"
"I wouldn't put it past him, he's a fruit loop"
"OMG, that annoys the hell out of me when people do that. Not just us but any fans. Wests fans were that with Da Silva, wanted him to stay and he is a future rep player, he signs with us and he is rubbish and never that good, Tristan Hope is better…"

"Haha, Randy. I used to be constantly amazed at how over-confident we tend to be in our belief structures. Or need it. I too often slap myself, symbolically speaking, for making assumptions and over-reaching.

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.
