This is a fact. All of our hormone production and hormone receptivity drops off as we age and that brings various deficits. I am 65 and earlier this year I noticed I was definitely starting to have memory problems. Trouble remembering words in particular. This was alarming bcs 65 is the common starting age for the various forms of dementia.

I did some reading and based on that started taking melatonin (for sleep, which is when memory formation occurs) and pregnenolone (a hormone precursor). They are both over the counter products. Result after four months? I fall asleep fast and sleep like a top. Dream like a crazy person (I like that) and my memory has bounced back. Wife says my general mood is also better and more relaxed.

Old age, it creeps up on you.

Nothing like a bit of 'reverse phycology'

You know the 'O' in OMO = opinion
That's what forums are for - open opinion

Why must u insult all who have a different opinion

"stupid" IMO.

So do you want me to post an opinion that isn’t mine?

Funny you want to protest about the use of the word “stupid” when words like merkin etc are widely used in description if all sorts of people including posters, players, coaches, journos, referees etc etc etc

IMO you are being rather precious especially when even the smartest of people can be stupid sometimes.

Have you had any side effects with melatonin and pregnenolone Jubilee?

I think the confusion here is even if Rava plays the entire year in reserve grade (which he 100% will if he stays), hes still contracted in our Top 30, i.e. only 17 players (+18th man) fit in 1st grade, the rest will play reserves.

Unfortunately Rava (and Lawrie) are contracted for 2025 and 2026.. otherwise it wouldnt be as big a deal to write them off.. my feeling is by april or june this year, if neither player is even close to seeing 1st grade, maybe they will be more open to a UK move to rekindle their careers.

If im honest though, I dont even think Rava plays reserve grade unless hes in some form.. there are other guys who need those development wing positions (assuming we arent carrying injuries).

I don’t think Lawrie will want to head to England after being married recently.

I don’t think Lawrie will want to head to England after being married recently.

I wonder if their manager will advise them that if they play the next two years in reserve grade, they won't be worth a thing at the end of that stint.
