Hmmm I still am not sure. Clearly fast track development the same as Jake. I don’t want to sound negative but I’ve seen a few of those boys who were pushed back to flegg making their mark like that young Davies and Lenaz who I think are still Flegg eligible next year. Davies is a fantastic impact hooker who’s held his own in Cup and Lenaz seems solid in a utility role. Granted that a clean out of the back up players needs to be done though!
Just when you think the club may start doing the right thing they stink it up again...100% agree. Keep the Flegg side together instead of putting some blokes in a side with a losing culture in nsw cup. Next year play all these blokes but I don't think they achieve anything by playing in nsw cup now....
We picked a bunch of these SG Ball merkins when we faced the Roosters a few weeks ago and we won. I wonder if it isn’t some kind of gentle intro to open age footy for them against weak opposition.
Maybe to try to make the point that their "development club" plan is working as a defence of their recent recruitment strategy and there is no need to change said strategy?
How long until the Eels logo is turned into a Rhino???
Might be worth a shot & bring a change of luck.
If you change your strategy based on less than a season's worth of results it was never a strategy.
I was wondering this. There's plenty of forwards in that Flegg pack who have played reserve grade this year; Parker, Mataele, Brazel, Davis. But then JJBM is still in reserve grade this week along with the SG Ball kids.
I've never kept count before... depends I guess on how many players float between (are dropped from) NRL and reggies teams, and how many juniors we give a taste of open age to?
