Eels in the media

Agree with you. In fact I posted when I saw him play reggies that I hadn't seen a player that small since Jeff Fenech.

Anyway Slater, Cronk, Thurston, Ben Hunt are all 5'8'. He's at least that.

Slater, Cronk, Ben Hunt are all 178cm. Thurston is 179cm.

That’s at least two inches taller than Matt Arthur. Seriously you’re as shit as Pou lately.

 

[Gronk]

If BA isn’t his dad there is no way he is graded. Not a chance. He is way too small. It’s almost comical.

Tom Starling would be shorter.

How big is Turuva? He is not tall for a modern winger, though he is strong ( but not To'o strong)

I reckon he’s a lot bigger (heavier) than Martin.

Tom Starling would be shorter.

It would still be a battle of the midgets.

No need to be a jerk over a player who might never play first grade is there ?

5 Foot 8, 172 CM

Are you certain? They look small compared to the massive merkins on the field with them but I’d say all of these guys are at least 5’10”

I said he could play you dickhead. I also never openly said his brother was shit either. What I’m saying is that dad being their coach has had its advantages. Just see if you can comprehend that you virtue signalling lefty f**kwit.

And yes I do know what that means. You do it every f**king day with every thread and every post and it’s boring.

Stop reading my posts on the sly you f**kwit.

 

[Incorrect]

than someone who's massive but jogs into the line and shows no urgency

Who on earth could you be referring to there??!!

 

[JokerEel]

He doesn’t look remotely big enough for an NRL winger.

Sarcasm or a clueless post?

I give up everyone wins.

I saw Matt Arthur on stage in Charlie in the Chocolate Factory. He played a Oompa Loompa.

Brad Arthur has photos of the R & R Committee.

Martin could be a smokey for fullback BTW just stalk his IG and you will see what I mean.

I see. You say he can play, then you say he has no business being at our club. You're as circular as Pou.

I agree with you, I think that is the position that most suits his game and its the position he has mostly played growing up.

However with the club prioritising Lynn and Sanders in the halves this year they obviously don't feel the same way. Or is it the fact we have committed to Dylbags as our Long term 6 and they know Blaize's talents and are just trying to manufacture him into a centre?

I actually think it might be worth trialling him as a 1, at least see how he goes. If he could become a success at it then he is at the perfect age to take over from Gutho long term. In saying that they seem to rate Twidle so who knows.

Its just good to know we have a crop of kids coming through where I'd be surprised if at least half a dozen of them don't make it as first graders. We just need to be strategic in the ones we keep and make sure we are helping their development not stunting it.

The Bold is what I think the club is doing... The club should show him Joey Manu as what he should look to turn out like..

Plenty of good players aren’t graded. Plenty are also told to leave because there is preferential treatment due to connections or other factors. Seen it time and time again in my own kid’s rep football (soccer) teams. Dare I say, nepotism could be evident.

If BA wasn't his Dad would he even have been a footy player? Would he have the skill set training with first graders since the age of 10 helped?

Martin plays like the penrith wingers too. He may not be the tallest but he doesn't hold back in his ruck runs or when he's going for the try line. I'd rather have someone a bit undersized who gives it their all than someone who's massive but jogs into the line and shows no urgency

Agree like I said go stalk his IG for some highlights. He played fullback as well in some of his vids. Has a good jump.

I rate him more than any other junior. The kid will be a star.
