"If that's the state of the market we should be consolidating our position, not going to market."
"If Pezet plays 20+ games for us he will definitely provide $600k worth of value. It's 2025. Every club in the NRL will have one or both starting halves on $600k+."
"Because there aren't enough off contract players to meet the demand. This is creating a bidding war. So the clubs might be in a hurry to sign players but the players certainly won't be in a hurry to sign when there's so much money available. It's a…"
"This is where I'm hoping the clubs at in this area if we are like Pou is mentioned around 600 it's not good value for us that's another decent player in your top 30 that's development ready."

"He's not getting paid for what he's done, he'll be geting paid for what he's expected to do during the course of the contract. If he underperforms those expectations then he'll be on overs, but I expect Pezet to become one of the top halves in the…"
"That figure is much more believable in the circumstances. Of course Anasta didn't disclose figures but he stated we got him "cheap".

"350K, if true, is a steal, Michael. On my own list, I had him around a bargain-priced 450K, based on what MON happily said about a "good price", his Ryles relationship, and what Anasta implied with everyone winning; except the Storm at this stage.…"

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.
