Knock-on Effect NSW Cup - Eels Team

It's nothing to do with being wrong. I made those comments nearly two months ago. Things change.

They sure do...just like your self appointed unblemished record of being right.

No it’s just his Attitude FFS!!

Well it’s finally better. Play enough games and your ‘attitude’ will improve.

I was right at the time the comments were made.

* You thought you were right at the time, but as it turns out, you were wrong.

What was I wrong about?

And maybe even your fitness as well???

Looks like you finally got the point.

What was the question again???

Happy MEel is the one keeping score.

What was I wrong about?

On the 5th June:

Vave was named in the starting lineup last week (and the week before) but he was the first one dropped when Brown came back. And because Vave was 18th man he didn't get to play for Wenty. That's the merkin BA has written off. Arthur won't care if Vave loses fitness until we have our next couple of injuries.

Vave then proceeds to make the 1st grade side the next game in the 18 jersey, as well as 4 out of 5 of the following games, despite a lack of injuries in the middle. In that time he has also been selected over other middles including Evans, Matagi and Gower.

I couldn’t give a shit if you are wrong. Hell, I am plenty of times (although not about this). It’s when you claim you haven’t been wrong since 2012, no matter the amount of trolling/piss taking (as I genuinely think you believe that, at least to some degree), you can be expected to be called out on it.

Looks like Evans is finally fit.

Is it possible the afl guy ruined his run mechanics being so lanky? And now he has learnt how to well run again?

However he hasn't had to play long minutes. And he had already played a couple of games as I pointed out. You seem to think I was saying Arthur wouldn't use him, yet I already mentioned he had been playing, if only limited minutes. That's because his development isn't important. He is unlikely to be here next year.

I think you care deeply whether or not I'm wrong. It's why you're trying so hard to misrepresent my past comments in the context of new situations.

He may be gaining some of the weight that's required or it could just be that we've decided not to persist with changing his style and let him go back to attacking spaces after a quick play-the-ball. It could be that training him to generate ruck speed or offloads (which requires a weight gain) is a project for next off season. What we do know is that plans change, as they should.

Well you think wrong. I enjoy arguing a point and it gives me something to do to break up work. This issue isn’t the only thing on here I have been involved in. You’re not that special.

I also think there’s a reasonable chance Vave will be retained at the lower end of the top 30 as a backup if Paulo gets injured. It’s the only similar body type on the roster at this stage.

Given he was a 20-25 minute per game player at the Roosters, why did anyone believe he would provide 40 minutes of NRL standard...

Evans is a downhill skier, much like about 80% of our squad.

The same reason Brown plays longer minutes here than he did at Souths.

Brown at least got half a game in whilst he was at Souths...Evans was basically only used 10 mins either side of half time at the Roosters.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

That’s all they needed from him.

Good numbers from Kane. Outstanding defensive effort from Dylan Brown for an 18 year old half making his reserve grade debut
