Knock-on Effect NSW Cup - Eels Team

[Poupou Escobar]

I love the details stats in NSW CUP. Why can't NRL have the same? I also question how accurate the NSW cup stats are. I reckon up to 10-20% out

Are you saying 80-90% are correct?!? #85%

I was still drinking toilet water when Kenny played butnI knew him as a 5/8 only untill he was old and played lock cause to slow.

He was never too slow. He played lock because we had better backs than forwards. He mostly played centre in his final season. He was quite versatile, which apparently means he was shit.

 

[Gazzamatta]

That's a big defensive workload for 49 minutes.

Well he did sfa the day b4.

 

[Avenger]

No you're wrong because you think what he is 'known as' is more important than what he actually was. He played most games at 6 because that's where it generally suited the team. But when it suited the team to play centre or lock or even fullback, that's what he did. Like any utility.

In fact I would say most 'five-eighths' are actually utilities, especially back in the day. These days they are often just a second halfback, and not a utility. Dylan Brown is a utility, like his contemporaries Munster, Wighton and Latrell Mitchell (who also played a few games at 6).

Get the f**k out of here.

Kenny and Ella would often swap positions during a game. Sterling and Taylor likewise although Taylor would play in the front line and make a million tackles.
Would you call Paulo a utility? He often plays the halfback role and sometimes plays on an edge.
Fui played 5/8 from every scrum when Anderson was coach. It was about his only move.
Hilditch played prop and hooker.
Muggleton center and second row.
And then we move to our current team where BA wants every player to have a turn in the middle. Does that make them all utilities?

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Don't forget Hilditch also played coach. No wait, do forget that.

Any forward can play in the middle. It's just that some are better on the edges. Some are better attacking the edges (maybe that describes most forwards) but aren't good enough to defend there.

This was based on where I thought they would be most likely to play for us. Good pickup though. I might move Gutherson back to utility as well.

The Pou BS parade continues, might be time for another spell.

Bert was a 5/8, the old fashioned type, not a left half, he was a running 5/8

he only changed positions if there was injuries to either zip zip or the Crow, or occasionally in rep footy for team balance, but he was never a utility player

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Played where it suited the team but wasn't a utility player hey?

All three grade next Sunday. Flegg, NSW Cup then the big show.

Parraeels website has Flegg at both Kellyville and in Wollongong on Saturday but not CommBank on Sunday.
Something is wrong there.

Sons of Bitches have moved the Flegg game away.

Well, he played 79 games at centre and 163 games at 5/8th for the Eels, so it wasn't that cut and dried. His first 20-odd games for us were as a centre. He played half of the 83 season as a centre (with Ella at 5/8th).

 

[the phantom menace]

By definition, everyone plays where it suits/suited the team i.e. wherever they are selected (or wherever they move to mid-game if/as required). Useless distinction.

Kenny may have had "utility value"... but for those who were around at the time he was (at Kangaroo , Origin and club level) a five-eighth who could also play centre - and then he played lock at club level when he got older, slower and crankier.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Also started a game at fullback. But wasn't a utility.
