That's so sad

I hope they both pull through this.

If anyone will kick its arse its Pricey.

Best of luck mate.

Ray Price AND his Mrs both have stage 3 and 4 melanoma.

This news is deeply saddening to me. I hope that the both of them have an excellent support group around them. I'd be more than happy to throw in some dollars to a genuine cause that helps them out.

I hope they both get through it. No doubt the RL community will get behind them.

My old man told me stories of Price, if he didn't have a black eye, broken rib or cut on the forehead after the game, he didn't play any good, which was very rare.

“Parramatta coach Brad Arthur, whose side are top of the ladder after two rounds, asked his players if they were happy to train Saturday and Mother's Day on Sunday. He was blown away by the response.

"We haven't got long [to the competition restart] so every day will count,'' Arthur told the Herald. "Our boys want to train Saturday and Sunday so we'll get two field sessions back to back.

"We'll only keep them for a couple of hours on Sunday. We'll do some video from Saturday's contact session, then get out on the field and let them get back to their families in the afternoon.

"All the boys are on board. They know Sunday is a special day being Mother's Day, and we'll make sure they get the morning to spend with their loves ones. For a lot of them, they won't be able to see their mothers anyway. We'll give them Monday off.''

Arthur was impressed by how the Eels look physically, and stressed the importance of being able to resume full contact this weekend.”

That article is very exciting!!!

I noted with interest that the comp on the official site for Sterlo's All Time bestest team plonked Hayne in the wingers and omitted him from the fullback slot.

Hayne really did shit on his legacy didn’t he ? It happens when you have a brain the size of a squirrel.

Because Sterlo want going to put players up for selection at multiple positions, if Hayne missed out at fullback he wouldn't be in the team.

Anyway I think wing was his best position.

Dally M fullback of the year 2009 and 2014. How many Dally Ms did Thornett ever win ?

 

[84 Baby]

The problem was in making him nominate 6. Probably rattled off Taylor, Thornett and Hodgson quickly, ummed and ahhed about including Hayne at fullback or wing and then had to scroll old team lists to find anyone else. Based on that Sandow can probably count himself unlucky not to get a nomination

Radradra would've won Dally M awards at fullback. Most wingers would look better at fullback because they're more involved. It doesn't mean it's their best position. Look at Latrell Mitchell. He will get plenty of Dally M points when he gets used to the position, but he will always be better as an outside back. Fullback is just a way to get a quality winger more involved.

You reckon Semi would’ve won Dally M player of the year if he played fullback?

Not all great outside backs make great fullbacks. See Fergy Ferg. Same goes the other way round. See Barba/Preston Campbell

I reckon the ones that don't stay at fullback are at good enough clubs that they don't need to play out of position.
