There’s various ways but if you take a early 20 something the numbers going to be higher because they’re looking at the impact over the next 40-60 years right.
NRL News: Warriors sign rookie Jett, Topine sues Dogs for $4m over 'psychiatric injury' from wrestling punishment
You’d assume there’d be less because the game was slower, there were fewer games, fewer contact training sessions and the players less powerful.

Not sure this current situation is a paradox (or the last article was really Darwinism).
The paradox of parity would be that we’re trying to overlay it on a game that literally is about determing who is superior to the other.
The game itself can’t actually function if true parity is achieved because every game would be a draw and couldn’t have a final series between 17 teams on the same points and fa where the games never have a winner.
Paradox of parity: NRL craves a level playing field but fans love to hate a dynasty like Penrith’s undisputed reign
The idea the cap is there for parity gives me faith I’ll always have a job.
It evens just one area of off field competitive advantage. It’s there for cost control.
The cap, like all regulation typically creates new barriers to competition

Rogers, Jackson, Webb.
I think years back, when fans and Gould said there’s nothing wrong with it (despite it already coming out the nfl had been surpressing the link for decades – heck there was even a pre slap Will Smith movie), there was study by beyond blue that had severe mental illness in ex league players as massively above the rate of the general population
'There were no decisions to make': Skipper drops retirement bombshell after doctors' grave warnings
As long as it’s medical retirement they can get it exempt from the cap.
He’ll likely just roll into a front office gig where the first year’s salary looks remarkably similar
'There were no decisions to make': Skipper drops retirement bombshell after doctors' grave warnings
Sadly it seems like if you wait until it’s obvious then it’s obviously too late.
There was an NFL player a few years back about to hit a huge pay day as he made the starting team and rolled off his rookie contract.
But he had college friends who were doctors so after an off-season with them decided he wouldn’t play Russian roulette for the 5 million and quit before he got concussion issues.

I’d walk around the house doing mock fire ball poses after games he was particularly involved in.
Which made Mrs Mushi just shake her head.
I’m actually kind of glad he never played for the roosters, I’d have probably lost half a year of my life to mimicking Street fighter

And at the same time slashed the budget for refereeing.
If the NRL were a public company analysts would have raised eye brows.
Instead you’ve got a PVL fan club with no skin in the game and all short term upside.
NRL News: Top ref 'rested', Mam has 'no regrets' over Leniu saga, Wally reveals concussion battle
There’s lots of weird calls this year.
Sometimes your tunnelling, sometimes you’re not.
Sometimes the third 6 again is cynical sometimes it’s okay.
Sometimes a swinging arm is off, sometimes a sin bin and sometimes report.
Sometimes 5+ metres is loitering near the ruck to block sometimes 5+ metres is not.
I can see why the big gambling firms all say nrl is the best Aussie sport

Robbo’s “style” has players both passing and getting the ball in contact (hence the high errors) which does leave guys a bit exposed.
Robinson's custodian conundrum: Would Roosters be better off with Manu at fullback?
there was an article written as to why this isn’t the case recently.
The problem is Joey at fullback is an Edwards style player but we, rightly or wrongly, rely on a lot of ball playing from the 1.

The Kyrgios case of Latrell and Lomax: Star duo need to put what's best for the team ahead of individual interests
So you read that and got that players should do what is right for them personally but the front office needs to decide if that will help them win.
I read that lomax should stick to the wing regardless of his preference and that latrell in choosing a team sport should chose to do what she believes is best for the team.
So no. Her article does not say individuals should be able to prioritise themselves and it’s up to coaches and management to value the team commitment.
The theme of the article is players should subjugate their wants because it’s a team sport.
Even the title, which I acknowledge she didn’t come up with but you can’t write the team player article and then complain about the team decision, that they NEED to put suppress their wants for the teams

Did you read the article?

It’s not an unrealistic extension to apply her situation of being both a corporate lawyer and a journalist.
In many fields it would be considered a career pivot also to move functions within the same organisation or way broader field.
Would you prefer if I phrased it a person can’t pivot careers within the same organisation or at the same time?
Happy for you to ask the Roar to amend it to such.

It’s a blow sure but given their catchment area for juniors, and figuring out how the cap works, they’ll be fine.
This feels like a free option article. If nothing happens it disappears from memory, but if this is the breaking point it’s “I called it”

Do you want a full list or a specifically souths related?
If the later I think the coaching staff last year is the first example which also suggested it is with the some of the playing group too

No one else has had injuries before in the NRL.
If souths think it’s just the injuries that are worth those 16 spots on the ladder it’s going to be a long one.
