Knock-on Effect NSW Cup - Eels Team

True, and I just noticed Hands being given time as a starting half - I guess if Moses or Brown goes down for a week or two, we don't really have many options to fill those spots? So could be good for Hands and an eventual recall to the first grade bench utility spot - I'm not a fan of BA's apparent 80min hooker policy.

Hands is playing 5/8 yet he cant defend out wide apprantley.

Would've thought Ethyn Martin gets a start in that ordinary backline. Good to see Tago there. If he's half as good as his brother we are on a winner. His bro is a gun...so good, deceptively strong and quick....
So looks as though Doorey and Loizou both out injured.
I did have a look at all the Ron Massey cup teams...the famous Jirah at starting prop for the dogs..and he was in our top 30...Tevita T is also starting prop for Wenty RM cup team..good times

Fairy Sure he is an older Brother.

Doorey and Loizou went off for HIAs I assume they both failed and got the 11 day stand down.

Jirah is a strange contract

BA owes him minutes from last week's bench debacle, so gives him a full game in Cup to make up for it this week and keep him match fit....
More likely Hands was awfully disappointing in his 3 minutes last week. Ffs. BA stated he wants an 80 min hooker. Hands forced his hand (npi) to include him in the 17 for the first 2 rounds through strong trial performances. Easy fix. Dont play him even under dire circumstances last week. Mind boggling. Now lets drop him altogether. Stubborn bugger. Who will get 3 minutes this week I wonder.

He's still learning, so what do you expect ? He doesn't really offer anything to the team other than a high work rate right now. He's no Ray Stone or Victor Radley in D, nor is he a Hopgood or Matto with an offload.

If Kelma is fit, then his bigger body and ability to bend the line might mean that he gets the longer minutes.

I know that some people will say "if you don't play him, he will never learn" but maybe that's best left for a game that we are assured to win.

Jake Arthur wasn't selected in the Manly 17 this week (18th) so reggies is likely to be the first time the two brothers have played each other ?

Also will be the first time that Jake who is no better than a Ron Massey player, faces Ethan Sanders.

Predictions are welcome, go.

Well if Manly win you will pull your dick over Jakey and whinge that he is not here anymore because all us terrible fans pushed him out of the club.

If Parra win you will be pulling your dick over Matty and telling us all how good he is and us terrible fans better not push him out of the club just like we did to poor Jakey.

Either way you will have your dick in your hand Gronksplaining, as predictable as a Bea Arthur game plan.

How am I doing so far???
