"Nope. That's false. I've always been in favour of letting Gutherson go early.
You should be called fake news midget
Gp and find where I said they'd be better with Gutherson genius. "

"Chief, you also said dragons would be better then us when they recruited Cook, Gutho and Holmes when we relied on younger players so how did that turn out for you. You don't have a very good record with predictions and your credibility on…"
"Well Chief, I have said it for a while. We went heavily for Galvin. Lorenzo was at the club when we went for him. All of a sudden when we lost Galvin, it was no it's juniors all along. We extend Lorenzo on a deal that won't see him in top 30 til…"
"Unfortunately parrafan101 youve now put the mocker on it"
"The Dragons pack does look very good doesn't it.
The key might be how Metcalf works out, as they desperately need a 7?
Let's hope they don't target Ryles next, with his illawarrra links, it wouldn't surprise.

"Our 6 next year will be Burton I'm 100% confident in this."
"The dragons will be much higher on the ladder than Parramatta regardless of what' keon is earning. Their development program is light years ahead of us. Their pack is full of young future stars, and with their recent signings fans can feel…"
"I also can't see Lorenzo being out 6. You need a great defensive player in that position otherwise big mobile back rowers will have a feild day. He's the smallest player at the club.I can guarantee Lorenzo wont be the 6 in 27 ill take all bets . If…"
"Agree with the thought process Pops, which is why I'd hoped we could get Adam Douiehi for that same reason. Someone to hold the 5/8th spot & keep us very competitove, but who is also capable of multiple positions if / when Lorenzo is ready.

"All points accepted, you may remember me talking about the Kenny/Ella combination and that's what I always recommended in discussions on Burton 6 months ago.
Those young halves you mention with defensive issues, usually had a minder in place,…"

"How under appreciated is prime N Brown for us "
"I feel Lorenzo is a stop gap excuse to keep us fans distracted away from how bad and poorly the R&R team was with letting Dylan Brown go and missing out on Galvin."
"That seems to be consistent across all reports. "
Remember Rodney Hogg
Rodney was a late arrival to Test cricket at age 27. Born in Victoria he was overlooked by state selectors and moved to Adelaide to find an earlier path to Shield.He was selected and within a year he was noticed by Alan Davidson who mentioned his…

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?
Maggie, Both Ray and Brett Kenny need a Swahili interpreter on hand at all times.
