Knock-on Effect NSW Cup - Eels Team

Some random might get a call-up to Cup this week, with Hands, Greig and Simonsson all still listed in the Firsts squad - and one of them now needing to fill the 17th bench spot - and no Cup reserves originally named in jerseys 18 and up.

Hands on the Bench for the NRL side this week now... I am guessing that Asi to 5/8 now.

Lucky we have hands as a utility now! Won't play anything but hooker though but yeah utility

Wouldn't be surprised to see Lussick and Hands on together at the back end of the game. Biggest threat will be Koroisau so might be all about controlling him and the ruck.
We all know Koroisau is going to try and carve us and lots of dummy half running...stop him, control him and we win the game

If there’s no injuries then his only chance of getting a run is at hooker. But if there are injuries his utility value will come in handy. It’s why he’s in the team, not because Lussick needs a rest.

But if we’re up by enough with 30 minutes to go I reckon Hands will get a run for sure. If we lose an outside back Talagi will move out and Hands will fill in at 6.

Derrrrrr

Of court that's what is going to happen.

If we didn't have Hands on the bench and a back was injured Matto would go to Second row or 5/8. Matto=Utility Tuilagi would go to centre he must also be a utility

Matterson was a utility, early in his career. Tuilagi is an edge forward, who can cover centre in an emergency. If Hands wasn’t a utility he wouldn’t have started so many reserve grade games in the halves. His first ever game for Penrith was at 6.
