Souths Duty of Care

[MightyMoo]

Strip them points and the '14 premiership. They can keep the 9's trophy

I hear you produce your own gravitational field.

. . . The thing I can't get my head around is that everyone knows he has changed his football team. Let's step back and re-visit that . . . As an adult, he changed his football team !.
Yet it's not like he slinks about hoping that nobody will notice. He goes and puts bunnies cartoonies at the foot of his page.
I felt sorry for him at first, figuring that he's not all there. You know what they say about first impressions.
So, did he do a crash course in rabbitohs history so he can keep up with the intense discussions in the burrow? Or did he drive up to the Port for some intense tutoring with the 'man ?
Maybe that's why he calls himself Alien. So when someone asks him a detail about his passionately supported rabbitohs pertaining to say, 1995* . . . he just says that he came to Earth in 2001, and he can't be expected to know anything about souths from before that date.
*Edit: they were in the comp in 1995, yeah ?

Oh no. He will now put you on his 'pretend to ignore but really read every post then tell everyone you've been put on ignore' list.

No, strip them of the 9s.

They were going on about an independent Dr on nRL360, no need for one. Simple ruling, if a player loses consciousness or gets wobbly leg he is off for the rest of the game. Does away with subjective testing and club Dr's needing to make any rule. This is going to be one of the biggest issues facing contact sport, NRL needs a no risk policy on this one.

"wobbly leg" is subjective ffs. How do you define it? And if your answer is "you know it when you see it" then it isn't objective, not everyone will see the same thing as being wobbly on your feet.

And also taking away the chance to go off field and get evaluated will lead to players who can hide their concussions (not all concussions have obvious visible symptoms) staying on the field and getting a repeat head knock seconds or minutes later.

Your plan is overly simplistic. Independent doctors are the way to go.

Maybe an NFL-style court case and judgement is coming? And considering we aren't as financially stable as the NFL, it seems to me if that happens the game will not be run by players and punters, but by bankers and lawyers. Debt is wonderful - if you own that debt.

 

[Card Shark]

NFL players bleed millions upon millions from their game, then they retire & ask for more.

Our sport can't afford it.

i hear young sironen came off after breaking a nail

Which team will you follow next year? Roosters

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

He already kind of does, since Easts fan Jamie Packer is a co owner.

 

[philgood]

I can understand not wanting to follow rugby league anymore and following another sport instead. But for a grown man to start following a different team defies belief.

Alien how empty does it feel when souths win? Do u have to try extra hard to feel good after a souths win?

You must really miss the Tigers

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

Almost as much as he misses the magpies.

He could have just started following wenty....

 

[Cockadoodledoo]

I wouldn't call Packer an Easts fan, he just goes where he thinks the money is. He is the sort of fan who would be lucky to name one player.

Pffft. That's a lie. You're not Will Smith.

And even if we were, loyalty is worth something these days...

 

[philgood]

Alien answer the question. Im being serious here...does it feel hollow following a team that you dont love?

Agree

Basically souffs aren't only putting their own players welfare in jeopardy, they are risking the entire codes future. In 10 years time we'll be lucky to have a code thanks to souffs.
