"I'm more interested in who the Eels are going to sign to replace Lomax instead of worrying about the players that don't want to be at Parra. When are we going to hear some good positive signing news or it that it"
"Really ?"
"He can enjoy a second straight season of reserve grade. It will kill his chance of finding a new club on decent coin after that"
"Ye we buy has been and never will be,s like this Ruby union kid"
"Yep 100% of it goes to the cap"
"Only thing going for us to keep him is that it's his final year, and if he wants another big contract he needs to perform. Unfortunately we are fcuked. Cheers to the signing committee."
"FMD what a surprise "
"matto still has good footy in him"
"He's back, its in the tct report "
"bite the bullet and pay him out...does that contribute to loss on the cap though ?"
"Rueben garrick to sign with the roosters"
"There are more questions than answers regarding Matto and unless you are part of the inner sanctum of the club, we can only speculate.
From the outside, it looks like Matto burned his bridges with Ryles and is persona non grata. The sooner he's…"

"That's last year's training gear"
"Ryley is a better player and Tallyn is getting paid a lot more than him. That can't go on."
"Hopefully end of 26 Macron deal ends and we jump on the Adidas bandwagon like the Roosters. "
"I really liked that 2010 strip. We should have a combination of the 86 jersey and that 2010 jersey as either home or heritage."

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?
