Knock-on Effect NSW Cup - Eels Team

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Niukore and Davis into the 17 next week? Or have we not quite run out of players yet?

 

[JokerEel]

How did Niukore go today? Ray Stone to a possibility?

Marata played ok got a bit of a knock late in the game but ray stone was phenomenal... easily our best on field defensively superb

 

[JokerEel]

I guess BA will have a bit to decide next week.

Gower out Vave Mannah Windscreens .. we will need some good defenders against the cows

 

[Stagger eel]

Heaven forbid we might need to call Twal and Kalepi up...

Kalepi was solid today but he's not a first grader

 

[phantom eel]

But he might be able to a 20 min bench stint - we might have no choice.

How was GL?
Who was injured?

 

[hineyrulz]

f**king Ronny Palmer is f**king over Wenty as well the merkin!!

 

[Lemon Squash]

What has happened to Kalepi?

He was arguably our best forward in first grade as an 18/19 year old, looked like he would be a superstar.

Is it just a case that our team was just so shit back then that he looked a lot better than he actually was?

No he wasn't, he was just our most powerful, and fans love that shit. He is probably still our most powerful forward but he is obviously a liability in other areas.

looked like he would be a superstar.

Agreed. He just doesn't seem to have kicked on. Are his shortfalls insurmountable? He is only 23 this year, but hasn't played first grade for over 24 months. I'm keen to see where he ends up next year.

Is it just a case that our team was just so shit back then that he looked a lot better than he actually was?

Probably some of that too. He made his debut in 2013 but that year we had our current edge forwards Ma'u and Edwards at Wenty (though Edwards debuted in round 26). Moeroa played a bit of NYC that year too.

How was GL?
Who was injured?

GL made some really good carries but is really struggling to read defensively, he was on the same side as Dane Akufolau were both tested big time... still a lot of work to be done on both

Going by yesterday's game I'd have no problems with Ray Stone playing first grade this year. Easily the best on ground and was crunching in defence. It's a shame he didn't get to line up at edge forward.

I totally agree OA but do you think his size might hold him back for a debut this year?

Was just about to say.....'is he big enough'?

 

[parrathruandthru]

apparently same size as Nathan Brown

 

[Poupou Escobar]

He's quite obviously a lot skinnier than Nathan Brown.

we know what you're referring to ya filthy pig

apparently same size as Nathan Brown

wow! he does look a bit slight around the legs but if he's the same size Brownie than I probably wouldn't hesitate throwing him a bench spot.

It surprises me that he's as big as Brown (weight / height wise, schlong-wise who knows?). He looks about 93-94kgs max on TV.

yeah same ( oh and I don't mean the schlong too )

 

[parrathruandthru]

Was told that by the guy who recruited him. Watching him and Morris keep warm on the sideline yesterday he looked bigger than Morris
