Parramatta Eels Juniors

[Obscene Assassin]

interesting he's not named anywhere except at 18 in the NRL team

That's the same every week, he's named in the first 21, nowhere else and then ends up playing in Wenty.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

so Nathan Davis got hooked pretty quick

I think they only picked him in the halves for his kicking game. Now Brown is playing he will do most of the kicking, with Salmon the second option.

Thanks mate. Hopefully with a few of the 20's moving up that Wenty starts playing better.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Is this an indicator these kids have all been signed into the dev squad for next year?

 

[JokerEel]

Jack Morris also got on the bench!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Its an interesting one mate. I'm hearing
Dunster
Kaufusi
Schneider
Brown
Utoikamanu
Parry
These boys are doing Nrl pre-season.
As for development contracts you would think these boys are the 6. But some of these boys signed longer deals last year like Brown , So will be interesting to know who is on a development contract and who isn't..!

I remember reading a dev contract needed to be at least two years unless the player was upgraded to top 30 in the second year.

I think it's probably common as well for players to have contracts that push them through different caps and squads, e.g.:

Year 1: Flegg (turning 20)
Year 2: Development
Year 3: Top 30

I think it's possible as well for a talented or high-demand player to go straight from Flegg to top 30 without a year on the development list. This is supposedly what's happening with Keppie next year. It may be happening with one or more of the kids you've listed above.

Have you heard anything about Tupou or Dresler next year?

How about Noel Akafalou? And Dressler?

 

[T-Boon]

I just saw John Paul Nowra got MoM honours in semi final of Australian schoolboys trials. Is this kid any good?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Allegedly

How about Noel Akafalou? And Dressler?

Herd Noel Akafolou is out for the rest of the season and possibly part of next year
Done ACL last week v St George

Herd nothing in relation to Dressler although he had one of his better games last week since returning from injury..

Good kid great talent, But his come back to the field a bit. I was hearing whispers Parra dont see him as a long term full back with a possible position move to the Centers or Backrow.

My opinion he is suited better at Full back but time will tell.
Does have some potential. Lost a bit of speed
Great talker & ball skills for a fullback
Awesome under the high ball

Hey Pou
Herd nothing relating to those boys as yet, Will let you know if and when i do.

Thanks. Damn when they talk back row when you are still in school you are doomed.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Haha. All the future first graders are playing 'five-eight', regardless of skill set.

I reckon JP could play anywhere in the backline, as a secondary half, and as an edge forward. Always around the ruck on early plays and shifts out wide for a set piece. Fairly big too would be 188-192cm and will probably play first grade around 95 - 100kgs. I think he'd be the perfect outside back who can fill in at fullback if need be.

Very skilful and highly regarded. The club has huge wraps on him. Once he fills out a bit, the kid could be anything.

Figuring out which club we will lose him to will be very exciting.
