Knock-on Effect NSW Cup - Eels Team

[Gazzamatta]

Average kick but great chase from Jake.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Full time. 26 to 6.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

Great job @Gazzamatta

 

[Gazzamatta]

Eli, Emu, Rankin, Cini, Russell very good. Sivo got better.
Jake is learning. Needs lots more time in the 2s. I really enjoyed the game. Yep rain stopped.
Cheers guys.

Good second half, but to be fair, Manly are rubbish.

Too easy in end.

If @Avenger was here, Carty would be on the shit list.

I like Solo more than Sivo. That's probably not a controversial opinion.

Good to get some cattle back. Waqa back soon.

Sivo probably needs a month to get into shape. Will he be given one more game in NSW CUP? I think possibly one more but he won't get to any sort of peak fitness and confidence till about rnd 18.

Depends how Perham goes tonight I guess. <shudder>

Waqa apparently back next week or one after so he may slot onto wing and Opacic stays.

Russell was great. Moved to the centre to replace Liouzu (sp) at halftime. Liouzu was average. Not sure about him. Good size but showing little.

Thought similar when I watched Laizou. Has no real speed or acceleration. Power is just average.

Don't tell me what to do!

You shut your mouth

Why, you think he hasn't done any training until his first game back?

Game fitness when other sides have had 3 mths. He wouldn't of run also for a long time. Its been 9mths since played NRL. He will need time.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Confidence and timing maybe but the fitness side is something he would've been working on for weeks.

Loko like?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Loko had insane power. I remember him just throwing defenders around. He was just shit at everything else.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Loko like?

Not at all. Just dosent get involved and his contributions are average. Hopefully the penny drops shortly as I see hes off contract this year. Good luck Sam.

Didn't see the game, so is Russell ready for the NRL now, or do we go with Sivo ? Perham needs to go and Simonsson wasn't much better.

Is Laizou better off playing as an edge forward ?

Laizou may just be flushed out of the system.
We have some good young backs in under 20s coming through I have been told. Probably the best of the lot are Yates, Hands,Greig,Russel,Rodwell....And of course Jake maybe. Haven't heard much about Morettis progress so I doubt he has set the world on fire.
