"Dylan Brown just don't have in him to be a creative footballer. He lacks the brains and skills to do that. He is too timid and a non=talker on the field. The Knights might now having a nightmare with their decision to pay him that amount of money. "

"I wonder if its a motivation thing, or a staying fit for his first year thing. I cant imagine Newcastle would be all too happy if their biggest signing after Ponga would be out for his first year with an injury.

I'm really looking forward to seeing Dylan walker go around, he will add some much needed experience and ball playing around the ruck - hopefully we can mount some scoreboard pressure."

"Lussick is injured and out for the next 6 weeks but he may well have been dropped if he was fully fit. This is the best team we have had this year imho."
"Lol, LB. Yes. "Informative" is a polite euphemism."
"I'm wondering Pops if Dylan has simply lost motivation. From now till 2036 he will earn $25,000 every single week or $45,000 for every scheduled game, no matter how he performs. His long term future is set in stone. There will possibly be no more…"

Not Eels related, but as a Gold Coast resident, I am now buckled up and locked down for three or four days of what should be one hell of a ride. To all the members here on the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast and Northern NSW, stay safe. Praying the…

The Long Game.
I like what is happening under Ryles. I was a fan of McDermott getting the gig but not despairing it was Ryles. We needed a clean out, which is largely done. We needed new,young talent brought in, this is happening too. Ryles will grow with this…

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?
