Eels Holden Cup Team and junior reps thread, Part II

[Poupou Escobar]

Yes, thats right, tough kid as well, I was told he played all the trials last season with a hairline fracture to the jaw, then played a school rugby match which completely broke his jaw out for 8 weeks, pulled the bands out early to the horror of his Jaw Specialist so he wouldn't drop too much weight as he wanted to make the NSW Schoolboys team for the Australian Schoolboys in Cairns. He didn't make it in time unfortunately for the NSW State of Origin Team but made the Schoolboys teams for NSW and Australian Schoolboys and was selected as the best player for the NSWCIS team as rare as hens teeth a winger gets picked for that award.

Who?

Taylor

Davis at fullback is a bit surprising.

Rest of the team looks pretty solid with a massive backline and some powerhouses in the pack.

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

Good side.

 

[Stagger eel]

I don't really like Davis at 1 but dominating there isn't beyond him

 

[hineyrulz]

Is this the best 20's team we have put on the park since 08???

A couple of ex-Eels in the NYC this week: http://direct.leagueunlimited.com/news/leagueunlimited-nyc-teams-2014-round-1

I recognise Robbie Kamoto (Bulldogs), Addin Fonua-Blake (Dragons), Chad McGill (Sharks) and of course, Connor Broadhurst (Titans).

No Frazer Masinamua to be seen.

Frazer has been let go by Cronulla. Accusations the same as those that lead to him leaving Parra. Truly unfortunate.

 

[Obscene Assassin]

I believe Frazer has gone to the Cowboys

No..

 

[Bigfella]

Maybe Douglas could do with a rest now and then?

 

[Bigfella]

How did I f**k that up so badly? Wrong thread by quite a long way

 

[Poupou Escobar]

So it's out of Paulo and Norman for goalkicker?

 

[Bigfella]

Those Wanderers fans are no good.
