Is my memory correct - Gits played plenty of league in the juniors? I'm pretty sure his brother is involved at the Raiders somewhere too isn't he?

I swear I typed LF! (Edited above now)

What it really boils down to is LF needs to find himself a new manager

Fully pro players aren't going to roll away just because someone is rucking them, unless it's so violent that it crosses the line of acceptability

This isn't from the current player contracts, but the wordingof the current player contracts will most probably be very similar to this

I don't think Kellaway has been this player for two years or so now - particularly struggles in defense these days He is a player whose reputation preceeds him

Any update on Tate?

We have those two games against Japan in August this year. They'll be experimental sides, with probably 5 debutants in the away game alone. Fair chance the 1000th player is a random one capper who runs on for 5 mins at the end of the game in Tokyo

The alternative would be to not play trials at 1:30pm and 2pm

Was it a Qld U16 v Qld U17 front row? how did that look?

Anyone who remembers Growden fondly didn't read enough of his stuff. I'm not the first person to note how many great cricket writers there have been, and great books written, with no rugby union journalism or literature coming close. Even rugby league has "This sporting life"

He was assessed for an off field HIA on the second one too wasn't he? Which probably raises difficult questions about the off-field HIA process as well. Smart mouthguards have the same issue to an even larger extent - they just aren't that accurate at identifying a concussion, but medical staff...

Ross Tucker's been involved in research out of Super League in the UK where they are wearing the mouth guards. Maybe NRL is different, but there appears to be pretty much no difference in the incidence and magnitude between the two sports. I was surprised too HAE = head acceleration event. FGE...

Good question, but with the light up version you can kind of self-regulate. The bigger issue currently is how many concussions that result at impacts lower than the limits set by those monitoring

Saw ex-qld NRL player Martin Lang calling for smart mouthguards, which is only notable, because he's now Dr Martin Lang, PHD in neuroscience from University of Newcastle!
