Knock-on Effect NSW Cup - Eels Team

Lorenzo continues his selection given Papalii not named down here (if still eligible).

Strange to see Greig not there, and no indication on the injuries update of why he's unavailable. Still no Pryke either.

With Samrani named on NRL bench rather than down here (if still eligible), Lewis and Funa-Luta in the starting pack as a result. And a young looking Cup bench with Isaac Jim making Cup debut in a final.

A little weird joash isnt going to play at all tbh
Yep, you'd think the more practice he gets at 6 in whatever grade, the better he gets for the future.

Maybe they've told Papalii he's part of the big boys (NRL) first choice squad now, and don't want to be seen to "drop" him, even for practice or a finals run?

Is Joash able to play NSW CUP? I think henplayed 12 or 15 games there this season. Unsure eligibility
I remember hearing/reading the eligibility rule from decades ago that said the player had to have played x number of games from the team’s last y matches, implying that early season appearances didn’t count. But that was a long time ago and might not apply now, plus it might not have even been correct. I think my old man was the one who told me. Not a bullshitter, but often wrong. Before he died, he thought Brad Arthur’s was useless as well.

Not if Ryles and co consider him to our starting NRL 6.......why risk him on a meaningless nsw cup game....better of giving the other youngsters that game time...

However I wouId never have given Drown a send off game, stuff him!

I mean if hes not playing first grade he might as well get more reps at 6 since its a new position for him. I also still think he should be playing over brown and if brown plays he should just take samranis spot for a send off. The ibis is playing less than 20mins anyways.

So doesn't look like any televised coverage for flegg and nsw cup this afternoon?
I think maybe bartv radio coverage? TV as well? Normally nswrl.com.au site shows who is broadcasting on TV if anyone is doing it
