[Stagger eel]

What's everyone's thoughts on Daoud?

Will struggle to make RM cup..

What's everyone's thoughts on Daoud?

I don't rate him.

 

[eloquentEEL]

I thought it was Arabic for a state in which you are not completely certain about something.

Like where you left your car?

Interesting to see that Doolan has been picked over Vidal in Ball

 

[Forty20]

Second week in a row that has occurred if I am not mistaken.

 

[Obscene Assassin]

I thought Vidal might have been injured last week as I can't remember him being named in the team

I checked and you are correct champ, Vidal wasn't named last week.

Looks like they are rewarding the incumbent starting lineup with the win over Newcastle. It also doesn't hurt that Doolan and Dargan have a great history together.

I think Dargan and Doolan are the future halves for Parramatta, both possess what you want in a modern half. Strong running games, kicking games, and nice passing games. Dargan reminds me a bit of DCE, whilst Doolan reminds me of a young Marshall. Both can go a long way if they continue their progress.

Definitely...

They're the first real halves to be coming through the system in many years..

 

[Obscene Assassin]

They have a good partnership going too which will help us in the future. It looks like we're going to have some very strong competition in the spine in a few years time.

A few of the players profiles have been removed from the Eels website, but the four: Kamicamica, Latham, Grant, and Manulelua are still there.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

They're probably updating photos.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

And now there's two Mark Daoud heads: http://www.parraeels.com.au/team/player-profiles.html

 

[Casper The Ghost]

I'm probably the wrong person to ask, as I don't know enought about how the cap works..

It works like this Stagg....

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I notice Khoury and Griffiths are no longer listed in our SG Ball squad: http://www.parraeels.com.au/team/district-reps.html

However they are both listed in the WSA SG Ball team for round 1, round 2 and round 3. Does this mean they are no longer contracted to the club or are they just being loaned out to the WSA?

 

[Stagger eel]

I think they're loaned out mate, they'll come back in if we suffer injuries

I posted the corresponding RLW article last year which saw then NYC coach Andrew Webster pinpoint Junior Paulo as the one to watch in 2013.


Here is the 2014 article.

PARRAMATTA EELS
THE COACH - Justin Holbrook: "The last few years Parramatta have been a bit disappointing in the NYC, but saying that, we've got some talented kids here. More than half the squad is left over from last year but we've got some good kids coming up from SG Ball. I'm the new coach here so we're all starting fresh.

COACH'S PLAYER TO WATCH: "Ryan Matterson has been really good. He's a good size for a five-eighth, he's a strong runner and has a good passing game."

RLW, February 27, Pg 45

Nolan spotted matterson playing at wenty a few years back and couldn't believe he wasn't discovered earlier..

 

[Avenger]

Is this Dargan kid better at the same age than Tim Smith? He was the best junior halfback that I have ever seen.

Jordan Latham has been released by the Eels and signed by Manly
