Knock-on Effect NSW Cup - Eels Team

[eels_fan]

He should stay in Cup next year. Apa should be the utility on the bench at the very least.

Apa won’t be here next year mate. I’d give us odds of 9:1 to keep him

I hope he doesn't sign with the Dogs..
Stick around for another year here and get a good pay day at PNG for 28

So he can play behind Connor Tracy? He won’t be going there.

You know Gus will promise the sun but end up giving you a torch...

He'll probably be a backup wherever he goes, at least in the short term. I don't think his NSW Cup form has been consistent enough for a club to sign him straight into the top17.

Aren't you the optimist.

Aren't you the optimist.

Optimism is hoping your team puts in a whole-hearted effort and wins on the weekend. Optimism isn't ignoring facts - Apa's management were in discussion with rival clubs prior to him even making his debut. The eels have offered him a development deal for next year - not a top 30 contract - because that is where he sits in our squad and pecking order currently. Ryles himself stated Apa still has a lot to work on to be a first grader, so a development deal is fitting. If he wants more than that - he is welcome to leave

Nanva now named to start in NRL, with Russell's withdrawal.

So someone will have to come in at centre in Cup - and also to cover Teancum or Lorenzo (or Fina-Latu) if any are used from the 19-man bench.

Talatina is slicing them to pieces. Latu a few damaging runs.

I think both starting front rowers today so far have been great.

The ref is not giving us anything as well

 

[hindy111]

And Teancum looks to good for this grade.He could step up in a heartbeat I reckon.
Lokeni goes ok.

 

[Cumberland Eel]

Captain Tago!!! Beautiful pass from Renzo

 

[hindy111]

This Conti kid can play. Only 19. Woods may have a fight on his hands.

Lorenzo I've never seen look this dangerous.

Poor old Captain Tago got bamboozled by that bounce

 

[Cumberland Eel]

Bullshit the chase was not offside - I swear this ref always f**ks us over in Reggies

Our back 3 really are not up to this level.

 

[Chipmunk]

It's difficult to work out how people involved in this Club think Tago is worth a Top 30 deal, and Twidle and Nanva arent.

 

[JokerEel]

I left at halftime today when the the score was 16 all..

Brown Lokeni and Tupou really started strong today Funa-Iuta and Latu also played strong today.
all could probably play in the NRL..

Our 1 on Avery goes really good with ball in hand and is very hard to tackle. But if we are serious they need to get the Ball players into the cup side...

Lorenzo did well again.

Our 1/2/3/4/5/7 just are filling a spot.

I dont see how either Alamdeine or Tago get a spot over S.Laizou. Surely Bloomfeild and Bamblet come in. Miles above these.
The back 3 yesterday where horrible.

Positives. Lorenzo was red hot.
Teancum dominated the middle

Latu and Lokini went ok also.
