Knock-on Effect NSW Cup - Eels Team

[Gazzamatta]

Is there a better teenage dummy half in the game?

His first game in the 2s was wonderful in atrack but hes been very quiet since. He really needs to develop his body to play against men. His D is poor. Generally 3rd man in with a flop. The make up and structure of our 2s isnt doing him any favours.

The club has pushed all of the quality 18 year olds into cup and skipped past flegg.

Its why Flegg is not faring any better - Rankin hands are tied when it comes to that side.

I just hope we don't burn all these kids by deciding to fast-track them too early into a useless cup side atm.

Have we pushed too many there at one time.

Not sure what the answer is but it wouldn't be doing these young kids confidence wise any good losing every week.

Im pretty confident this isnt the answer. Really good kids will be lost under this plan.

It's not about the wins ffs!

I agree that club has pushed these kids up the problem is and I'll say it all the time is stability and combinations.

Thats a better balanced team.
Boods in a shorter stint might enable his attacking spark once more. I like it.
Unfortunately they will continue to play "Cayless Ball". Didnt we offer a gig to last year's Flegg Coach at the last minute to support Cayless?

If they can prove their chops in reserve grade we can safely offer them top 30 contracts. If they can't even handle reserve grade they're obviously not ready for the top 30.

How are combinations in reserve grade going to prepare them for first grade?

That team should win more often. I
like Martin at fullback.

Holy shit Pou get on the blower to BA Hands is a utility ffs!!!!!

Is that a genuine question or are you questioning the for the sake of it...

Think about it..

 

[Poupou Escobar]

He played in the halves last week. How is that not a utility? Or does your definition of utility only include little blokes who come off the bench? Maybe Matt Arthur is a utility now?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Well if he forms a combination with some reserve grader it's not going to come in handy when he plays first grade unless his reserve grade mate also steps up into first grade.

No he didn't he was on the bench in the NRL..


Glad the club has come around to my thinking with Hands playing hooker role Asi 5/8 and Martin at fullback..

You can see you have never coached..

You form a combination with your halves partner fullback hooker ect you then start playing with more cohesive which gives you more confidence. That then helps your game where you can then develop new skills and try new things.

But yes Like I said glad the club has come around to my thinking well done club

Asi really played half and Sanders 5/8 on the weekend. Sanders played a stripped down roll, no kicking, no first receiver - just run.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

No that was yesterday. Last week he played in the halves, as he has done many times

Glad the club has come around to my thinking with Hands playing hooker role Asi 5/8 and Martin at fullback..

Hands is 25 this year, so he should provide stronger defence to start the game. Arthur can come on with his superior skill when the game slows down. It's a good move, although our edge defence would be better with Asi at fullback than in the halves. But then 1. Asi 6. Hands isn't as good in attack as 1. Martin 6. Asi. It's all about trade offs. Hopefully we win this time.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

lol I hope your under 7s team bought into your philosophy

You form a combination with your halves partner fullback hooker ect you then start playing with more cohesive which gives you more confidence. That then helps your game where you can then develop new skills and try new things.

The priority in reserve grade is player development, not forming mad combos. As soon as one of these merkins is required in first grade (like Hands last week and Talagi the week before) your combination goes out the window Supercoach.

But yes Like I said glad the club has come around to my thinking well done club

You think Hands and Sanders should be in first grade lol

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Asi really played half and Sanders 5/8 on the weekend. Sanders played a stripped down roll, no kicking, no first receiver - just run.

Him and Asi and Arthur shared the kicking, but yes, Sanders was there to run the ball. He made more carries than anyone else in the team.

Looks like your wrong again... Asi and Sanders playing in the halves again forming combinations helping develop the juniors..

Hands is playing 9 this week for Cup just like I said he should.

BTW its 2024 no one uses LOL anymore
