Knock-on Effect NSW Cup - Eels Team

[Poupou Escobar]

34-6

I reckon Opacic is a better player than Sean Russell.

At this stage of their career yes.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yeah Russell is likely to end up better. He is already taller and faster.

Sample size too small ffs.

 

[Soto]

Opacic was really good at left centre last year. Then he was switched to the right and had the unfortunate family tragedy.
Is not the same player in the right centre position.
Hiwever I would not be moving Waqa from left centre as he went to another level when he played there last year.
Other option is Opacic left centre with Waqa left wing. In saying all that Russell I think will do a great job and has pace to burn.

lol @ George Burgess

that's some fall from grace

Rodwell and Oggy far superior today.

 

[Twizzle]

Rodwell is a beast

And that's some f**king mullet on Cini, he looks short of a gallop though

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Cini played in the first trial against the Panthers but not in the second.

Where was W. Greig?

 

[Gronk]

Keaton walkington-meads (KWM) is f**king huge. Great project for BA. Same goes with Mullet and Dan Keir. I liked both our Hookers, Rodwell and Perham.

Morretti hasn’t impressed me yet.

Perham is flashy Ponga lite. He’s a good backup and might see a bit of FG if Gutho plays off the bench in SOO. Opacic is sure happy with him today. He’s not an NRL player yet, but I like his fast feet and soft hands.

Both he and Carty are named as 18 and 19 for tomorrow.

Where did KWM come from Gronky?
I agree re Morretti. Hopefully his best is yet to come.
Perham is silky smooth but he is 2 tenths of useless under the high ball. Needs to play at 6 but honestly how could they possibly move Captain Rankin. Williams went ok. Did his job similar to Jrthur when paired with Jordy.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Thought Moretti was pretty solid, the commentary kept on calling him Rodwell when he first came on

Looks like he played NSW cup for raiders last year but is from QLD. Appears to be 22 or so (all thanks to google)

Great thanks. I had a peek. He looks like Brandon Smith.

You've seen very little of Russel. Th r coaching staffs seen a lot more.

There's two reasons they might've picked him despite Opacic being a better player:

1. Russell's development is a high priority
2. They don't want to break up combinations Blake has with players inside him at centre

 

[Twizzle]

I know Opa scored 4 tries and that's a great effort but gee the defense was ordinary, a couple of times there he ran through some gaping holes

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

What was the score? I went out for Saturday lunch beers with Mrs Lorenson at halftime.

Lucky you. My mum won't touch the stuff.
