Knock-on Effect NSW Cup - Eels Team

[Gronk]

^^throwing punches.

 

[strider]

Ahhhh i miss Nrowns mad merkinness

 

[Gronk]

Hows Waqa going Gronky?

Both Haze and Waqa have had v good second halfs, all considered.

AMS is good, otherwise it's been a very reserve grade match. Knock ons, passes into touch etc

He got done for throwing a punch, shame he didn't punch Bea Arthur.

Still paying him 350k to play reserve grade for the chooks.

Money well spent.

I doubt the Chooks re-sign the plodder off to the UK for him it seems..

It would be funny if he ended up at Manly with JA though...

Could he have provided what Offa has for the end of season games? $350k to push him out. The exchange has probably cost us $200k and 2 more years of Offa.
Club first dosent always apply when a coach wants a player gone or when its family. Maybe Im wrong but these 2 decisions appear to not be in the best interest of the club. I wonder what impact these had on team moral.

Watching Nrown at the chooks he didnt really provide much of an impact i dont think he was a great loss.

We should be thankful we didnt buckle in 2021 when he wanted a 3 year contract and MON only gave him 2 instead otherwise we would still be paying for him next year as well.

I wonder whether the media spun statement that a club is paying $xx for current year, like us with Brown, is actually just a reflection of what they were paid until they left their original club.

Brown had 5 months left with us which means he would have been on $700k+ (not sure about that amount being worth it) or if the $350k was what we paid him while he was with us, then approx $600k for the year and alot closer to his value.

Of course it sounds better to think that we are paying Brown $350k to play at the Roosters. Does that mean they aren't paying anything or is his 2023 salary $1m+

And no 18th man named...

Hands at 6 is interesting, albeit for all the wrong reasons, I think we've run out of cattle

Lynn played well last weekend (3 TAs) but is now back in Flegg, pushing Talagi to centre. I would say the club gives less of a shit about this reserve grade game than any other game this weekend, so where Hands plays is irrelevant.

or because he's a utility

Yeah well he could be starting at 9 with Lynn or Talagi at 6. Or Yates, or Keir, or Cini, or Momoisea. They've all had a turn. I don't think it's going to stop us winning the 2023 Club Championship.

Why not give him the 6 for first grade this week.

Worth a crack in a nothing game.

Ya never know mate. BA is pretty sneaky. Who would have predicted that secret move of starting Barlow on the edge last week? It confused the fu*k outta the Brave Roosters.

I didnt even notice it tbh haha.

I am sure it was one of those sneaky moves BA was saving up for finals.

Then realised it was his last card he had to play last week.
