"This year, the club better try and develop Roksuka (19), Sorovi (18), Bloomfield (18) and Alamadine (21) as much as possible. They all have genuine talent to be FG wingers. Good thing for wingers is they can be gun players at a young age."
"But we brought him over from Fiji. I mean actually had from Harold Matts or SG Ball and up."
"But were they Wingers per say? Both came through as Fullbacks, Inu was more a Centre also."
"Earlier as in a few weeks ago or earlier yesterday type thing?"
"Coryn i would say stop beating a dead horse but it is so obvious it is insane. The amount of talent that cannot make it in Union. Even Fiji they do not have the resources to develop players or the money to offer them. They would jump at a minimum…"

"Feels like we are always going 1 step forward, 3 steps back. So far we are going into next season considerably worse with no Dylan Brown and Lomax and basically have no depth if a winger or centre gets injured. The only signing we have made for our…"

Clinton Schifcofske
First off, let me start by saying I couldn't really care less about Zac leaving. There's enough red flags about decsions he's made off field and on it to show he might not be the full package. Being 1 year into a 4 year deal and letting this crap…

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.
