Knock-on Effect NSW Cup - Eels Team

[Gazzamatta]

Will Smith is a heaps better player. He's played 53 games in first grade. Fonua has never been a full time footballer.

Fonua potentially has more upside but he might still never be as good as Will Smith.

Im sure Will, will be pleased he has your's and the coach's support. He proves each week he is a festival of errors. Maybe once upon a time W Smith was a half decent player. The past season and thus far this season he has proven to be less than half decent. Id prefer most other options. Stick a fork in him. He's done. We all have opinions Poo. Regretably we can't agree in this instance.

Did Ray Stone play?
Kafusi and Stefano looked as good as Gower and Alvaro. All can handle NRL.
Younger two have more upside

Stefano was a clear step down from the other three. Very clear.

Kaufusi looked much more like a genuine first grader. Which is good because he struggled at times last year, so hopefully he keeps it up. He really took a leaders role in the pack which was great to see.

 

[strider]

don't know if it was mentioned in the telecast but John Fonua was the 18th man head injury replacement player

Head injury replacement? ... whats that?

 

[strider]

Did Alvaro play in the grand final last year?
Poor bugger getting asked all about NSW cup when he wants to be in first grade..

I thought the same thing .... ffs he is mostly an nrl player, silly question line

He was Wenty's best player last year. Was sorely missed in the grand final.

If one of your better players fails a HIA, then they pass the head injury on the the head injury replacement

 

[strider]

Does it mean you can bring in an 18th man if you lose a player to a HIA? .... they should do that in the NRL ffs

Yep that's it. The player then replaced can't play for 2 weeks. All games under the NSWRL banner have this rule.

 

[strider]

Wow 2 weeks is a bit harsh .... i guess a good rorting deterrant

Assuming first grade gets going, once injuries / suspensions hit they will be calling up players that haven't played any games.

So will smith wont be at the top of his game?

The possibility of an even worse version of Will Smith concerns me more than the Wuhan virus

Impossible.

 

[Twizzle]

He's flattening the curve

 

[Gronk]

Paywalled, but assume it's about reggies.

 

[Twizzle]

if it is, we have half as many teams, a lot of players may miss out and some talent will slip through the cracks

sign of the times tho

 

[Gronk]

Ron Massey legend Beau Henry has made the news.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

What's he gone and done now? Did he erase trans people?

 

[Twizzle]

when was he ever an NRL Star ?
