Knock-on Effect NSW Cup - Eels Team

[JokerEel]

Which is why I don’t understand the philosophy around here

We are a development club yes , we always will be.

But if you don’t augment the areas where we can’t develop, then we have players that are in for very rude shocks when they hit cup, and NRL level

Thats because people are not accountable at this club..

The last person that was got fires 2 seasons ago now... But the other staff just got away Scott free

 

[JokerEel]

So we went down 38-16...

Kruz NS got bar TV player of the match

There’s a no responsibility clause obviously in the KPIs of the R&R team , couldn’t be a lack of interest from the CEO and Board surely

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Fyi we have 6 RMC players in this side tonight

It would have to be more than that. There's five from the development list and only one from the top 30.

How has Ben Rogers had a job at this club since 2020 seriously...

 

[JokerEel]

It would have to be more than that. There's five from the development list and only one from the top 30.

Also academy players and second tier players.

Ran into Ben as I was coming to the car.

I said to him, they are all reserved graders

He said “we’ll be right”

I said no we won’t, something has to change

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Fold the whole club now...we are a rabble front and centre...unbelievable shitness everywhere.. we stink and suck..

The injury toll in first grade impacts reserve grade as well. Kelly and Volkman are better players than Vaivela and Nohra, for example.

Probably got in the car and jumped on the phone to MON to ask if he was doing a good job....

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Saw he is playing Sydney Shield these days.

He just was a big dude that we for some reason signed. Like that LeBron kid

These guys are just signed to make up the numbers in junior rep teams. There is minimal opportunity cost involved.

Not how it works.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Not how it works.

It's absolutely how it works. There aren't enough kids with NRL potential to fill 17 SG Ball teams. You might get three probables, another six possibles, and the rest of them are just making up the numbers. This is the way it's always been.

No its not you dont just sign kids in your rep teams to make up the numbers...

You sign up the best kids and give each and every one the tools to make it.

Your way is just hey we have 3 guys the rest of you guys suck but you know dont f**k up and make the 3 good players development go to shit..

Mate you're living in fantasy land. Do you have any idea how few SG Ball players end up in first grade?

 

[85 Baby]

Would definitely have had to be more. We had 17 of our reserve grade playing NRL

Sometimes zero but thats not what you said at the start of this convo...

You said we sign players to fill positions in junior rep teams.. no we dont we sign potential players and give them all the tools to go on.

 

[MarkInTheStands]

You should you ran into Ben WITH your car

I value my personal freedom over the betterment of the club.

He isn't the biggest issues its Jim's Mowing and Trolly Boy.

When Joey Grima ran Junior reps the first meeting of everyone (players, coaches, parents) for that season he would say "How many of you think you can play NRL?"

Everyone's hand would go up, Joey would tell them the stats that out of that room, maybe one or two would and challenged them, "Will it be you?" to get the best out of them.

These kids come into a reps program as the best player in their side, when they come up against kids of the same calibre it is those that have the drive and determination that kick on.
