Knock-on Effect NSW Cup - Eels Team

Played 20's for the eels and didn't we sign him from the panthers ?

Then we kept him on a NRL contract after he finished with the 20's I think.

 

[parrathruandthru]

my understanding is that he was on a Wenty contract between U20s & a Parra NRL contract

 

[Poupou Escobar]

When was the last time a player contracted/playing with our feeder club go on to score an NRL contract with us (his first contract with us) and then play NRL with us?

Last player I can think of was Kenny Sio who worked his way up to NSW cup (I think) from RM cup as a 19 year old, then got a 20's contract / start the following year.

Not a high success rate.

PS Etu may have been the last before Sio.

I think Lasalo was on a Wenty contract in 2014 before we re-signed him to fill in (for one game). But he had previously been on an NRL contract and already played first grade.

Fogarty also spent 2016 without an NRL contract but has one now. Obviously is yet to play first grade.

Needs to learn the difference between 'their' and 'there'.

Not if his gone to post on hear.

What was Ma'u's first contract with 'us'? He certainly played for Wenty for a while before getting a run with the NRL team.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Not sure, but didn't the eels spent 6 or so months trying to get him a visa ?

A mate of mine once turned to me in the middle of a game of pool and remarked 'my arse ain't been doin farting for a while'. I thought that was a pretty unique combination of grammar and topic matter.

Perhaps he was commenting on your rise to nobility, cos as we all know the Queen and Pope don't fart.

So why didn’t James Hasson play a game for Parramatta in 2016?

Because the Eels’ salary cap position prevented him from doing so.

Hasson made the move west last year after playing 39 games for Manly, but he’s been unable add to his tally since arriving.

“It was a bit rough last year,” Hasson told The NRL Podcast.

“It was one of the harder years with the way the salary cap worked out — I couldn’t get a game so that was a bit disappointing.

“But I’m ripping in at training and hopefully this year I can put some games together and get back on the first grade scene.”

While he wasn’t able to play NRL, Hasson played on the international stage for Ireland in the country’s World Cup qualifiers against Spain and Russia.

“They weren’t the hardest games ... but we’re into the Cup,” Hasson said.

hmmmm - might not have been the only reason ????

Nothing to do with the fact he's a massive plodder, it was the salary caps fault.

Well i was more thinking perhaps there were just better options

[Incorrect]

So that's 2 articles now singing from the same hymn sheet... First one was about Cameron King, now Hasson..... If I see a 3rd article about Kieran Moss or Scott Shulte where they say BA told them he wanted to play them at five-eighth when Foran left but couldn't because of the salary cap.... I'm calling Bullshit on BA's ass!!!!!

Was also probably be because he got injured at unfavourable times. If he wasn't injured I reckon he debuts for the Blue and Gold before O'Brien

Yep, as surely O'Brien was most likely 2nd tier.

On King, BA could have given him a start but choose to sign Robson instead. While Nelson got two games too, is he top 25 or on the fringe and King could have been picked instead ?

Same goes for Tanginoa.

I have 6 guys who may not make Wenty that have played first grade. Name your Wenty side and look at some names that have been left out. A lot of depth.

Is there a list of Wenty players? Them and Wyong are the only ones I can't find
