Knock-on Effect NSW Cup - Eels Team

[Eelementary]

Yeah slow and not much power for his size.
1-5 all looks like NSW cup level at best to me.

Few ok forwards. Rodwell has a big motor. Greig goes ok but isn't crying out for NRL.
Yates and Hands both have skill. Prob most exciting talents.

The guy who I liked the look of was Tevita. The prop off bench. Looked like the forward with most potential to me. What's this kids story??

Picked him up from the Bunnies this off season.

How old is he? Looks a prospect.
Hollis come on but had one run in 13mins. Would of been good to see a little more of him.

So the team looks better with no Jakey Arthur??? Don't worry he will stink it up in first grade instead.

I think he's 22 (but I'm not 100% sure).

Rodwell 130m and 43 tackles

Makatoa last week: 73m, and 23 tackles


Yep - the right player is in First Grade...

To be fair, there is zero line speed in NSW Cup so much easier to make metres.

That's true.

But Makatoa wasn't doing much in NSW Cup, either.

Rodwell is a far better player. Younger, too.

Geez Paps considers tacking optional

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

That's true.

Rodwell is a far better player. Younger, too.

Makatoa averaged 173 running metres per game in NSW Cup last year. He was doing ok.

 

[Happy MEel]

f**k Reed is dumb. There’s no need to charge down.

 

[Happy MEel]

Reed is terrible this year

I stand corrected.

I thought his figures were worse.

Still - I think Rodwell is better.

Oh, he definitely will be, and already is if you were looking for someone to play 55-60 minutes. He's a starting middle forward. Has good footwork and works all day.

Rodwell played lock and for 80 mins.

 

[Gronk]

I just watched NSW cup. We have a lot of good prospects in Rowell, Ellie El, Emu, Hands, Cini and Yates.

Hands and Yates both look like natural footy players.

A sprinkling of flegg players shows that we have some nice depth in the middles coming through.

 

[Eelementary]

I'll eat some humble pie - I thought Makatoa was really good tonight.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Cini’s sold me

He'd have to be next cab off the rank.

 

[hindy111]

Yates Made 49 tackles in 58mims and 70mtrs
Hands had 2 lbas, 2 Ta and a forced drop put
Tevita in 25 mins made 125 mtrs and 22 tackles.

Rodwell dished out some great stats.

Those are probably the guys that I'd keep eye in for now. And Emu who is an ok player. I prefered what I saw from Tevita and Rodwell

 

[hindy111]

He'd have to be next cab off the rank.

Breaks tackles and misses....Laizou looks more composed. Unsure I rate either. Sam is big and strong but hasn't much of a turn of speed.

Loizu has plenty of speed. He just gets cramped shit ball all day.

In other news, he got analed twice by the fullback who just ran past him like he wasn’t there.
