Yeah flanker or lock I'd say. Depending how they wanna use him.

He isn’t going to be technically adept enough for lock in scrum or line out. Openside flanker is basically not qualified enough for lock so he has to take up their slack in everything else. He probably isn’t skilful/fast/big/aware enough for number 8 or blindside. Maybe outside centre if they just use him as cannonball but he’ll be liability in defence

You talk more sense referencing ARU than you do NRL.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

What position would he play in union? .... i know he was a centre when a schoolboy ... and mobile league backrowers are usually centres ... but is Tep still that? I guess he could trim down

He'll be one of those blokes stuck on the outside of the second roe

Oh, my bad.

I still call Number 8 lock. And lock Second Roe. That's why I made the point of mentioning it would depend how the Tahs wanna use him. He could be a genuine lock (as in Number 8), yeah he's probably not as skilful as someone like Will Skelton but he's bigger and no less skilled than a guy like Jack Dempsey or Michael Wells IMO.

f**ken rugby and their names for things.

Who knows what the f**k they call them these days

That’s cause I sip fine cognac when I talk union, and drink everything under the sun up to and including E10 petrol when I’m talking league

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Maybe outside centre

You mean third five-eighth?

I thought he meant second stand-off...

Daniel Alvaro is adamant that staying at the Parramatta Eels is his main priority despite his future at the club remains uncertain after 2019.

Reports surfaced last week that Alvaro and the Eels had come to an agreement which would see the front-rower stay at the club for at least an extra year.

Alvaro could not confirm those reports, unable to comment with his future still up in the air for now.

What he could confirm, however, was that his preference is definitely to remain at the Eels.

“I definitely want to stay and just want to focus on trying to play good footy,” he said after Wentworthville’s 26-20 win on the weekend.

The 26-year old put in yet another tireless performance in the victory, running for over 200 metres and making 38 tackles.

Alvaro has been a consistent force in the middle for the Magpies in his five appearances this year and is challenging himself to improve all facets of his game.

“[I just want to] try improve everything, just my game as a whole,” he said.

“Just try and play the best I can every week and just hope for an opportunity.”

Alvaro was the shining light in an otherwise dark season for the Eels NRL side last year, averaging 105 running metres and 39 tackles from just 55 minutes per game.

It saw him take home the Ken Thornett Medal and Blue & Gold Army Medal, identified by both teammates and fans as the club’s best player in 2018.

His eagerness to be back out there playing with his teammates couldn’t be missed as he spoke with NSWRL.com.au in the dressing sheds at Bankwest Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Having played in the grand opening of world-class facikity against the Tigers just under three months ago, Alvaro took quick glances at the screen in the corner of the room as he chatted with me, watching his teammates run out for battle once more against their Western Sydney rivals.

“I just want to see the boys go well and keep going well,” he said.

The Eels currently sit in sixth position and seeing them push towards a finals berth after last year’s disappointment only strengthens his desire to be out with them pushing for premiership glory.

The key to title success according to Alvaro – mental and physical resilience – something that has been evident in the way they have responded to their critics.

“[We need to] keep playing tough and finding ways to win.”

Rugby union is so shit, he could play hooker, prop, fullback, and open side flanker all at once, and still get man of the match...

Tbh, I think he will come off the bench as an outside centre.

I know it's for NSW Cup, but...f**k, those are great numbers!

He's definitely getting his fitness back. Should be back in FG if he keeps punching that out

100%.

Question is, who do you drop?

Evans and Paulo are laying a strong platform; Gower is probably not as good defensively, but more skilful...

It's a tough one.

But I guess it's a good problem to have.

Tep?

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

We need stats, stat! I was gonna ask if Tepai even played our last game but I didn't want to be seen to be picking on our only Asian player. And I was seething about the stupid gameday thread locking. But I honestly don't remember him on the field at all. And is Evans actually going well or is he just in favour of late?

Tep only played 15 minutes for 4 runs, 37 metres gained, 10 tackles and 1 miss.

Kevans played 36 minutes for 11 runs, 96 metres gained, 21 tackles and 1 miss. That’s decent

Cheers. Doesn't seem like a lot between those two but Evans slightly the better. 15 minutes though...hmmm
