Eels Holden Cup Team and junior reps thread, Part II

[Casper The Ghost]

They're f**kn reserve graders. Pay the merkins nothing.

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

Haven't had a chance to watch much 20's. How's tui been going?

Hasn't done much.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

So looking at next year's squad, most of these boys are only 19. They will be a year older and a year less shit.

The ones I know who definitely won't be in the squad next year are:

Toutai
Moeakiola
Tuitahi
Brasington
Gorman
Alvaro
Bugden
Uaisele
Vescio
Paulo

Plus Pritchard and Pauli might be moved to the fulltime squad despite still being eligible.

So far we have Lussick, French, Davis, Moeroa and Fuimaono coming into the NYC squad (Moeroa was already in the squad but couldn't play due to school commitments).

Do any of you merkins in the know have any new info on next year's NYC squad?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Around the grounds for Fantastic Furniture, Melbourne lead 6-0.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

19 minutes gone, Melbourne lead 12-0.

Hey Poo, you don't believe Tyrell will play in the SG Ball side?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Tuitahi in again. Eels lead for the first time, 20-18. 41 minutes gone.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Hey Poo, you don't believe Tyrell will play in the SG Ball side?

No.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Melbourne lead 22-20, ktc.

 

[magpie4ever]

No.

Educated guess or inside knowledge?

I thought he would play SG Ball, then onto NYC.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

The fact they announced his re-signing in the recruitment/retention update says that he isn't going to be playing SG Ball next year. They didn't mention any of the other 18 year olds contracted for 2014.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Tuitahi goes in for his hat trick and then some other merkin scores.

Eels lead 30-24.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Connor f**ken Broadhurst Mad merkin!

18-10

Yeah baby!

 

[Stagger eel]

Tuitahi's scores again

30-24 to us
