Knock-on Effect NSW Cup - Eels Team

[Poupou Escobar]

I thought NSW CUP was about development and not winning. Ethyn Martin could be a diamond in the rough. Cini is 100% not.

Martin isn’t a diamond in the rough. Cini is a quality reserve grader.

he has pace and strength from what I've seen of him, just needs to bulk up a bit to play under the high ball imo

You are not allowed to comment on quality after your defense on Jirah!!

the only thing they have in common is that they are rangas

Cini is shit

Needs much practice but has X Factor. How the coach can determine Lume, Dunster and Big Sam are better is beyond comprehension. Check out his run meters last week. We will lose this guy nothing surer.

Yep! waiting for Pou to chime in with if he was any good another club would have signed him by now ...

Good to hear Gronky so we need to treat him like we want him. If we dont someone will come a knockin contract or no contract.

Also a quality reserve grader. If we really wanted to win reserve grade games we would have kept proven performers Momoisea, Taumoepenu and Rodwell. The fact is they’ve been rissoled and not replaced in the top thirty, proving that we are prioritising the promotion of youngsters over proven reserve grade performers. In short, stop complaining about our lack of reserve grade wins. If the club cared it would be making different decisions.

Not in reserve grade he isn’t. He is a quality attacking player.

So Cini over Martin promoting youngsters over proven reserve grader

Maybe we’re keeping him in RM Cup so the other clubs don’t see how awesome he is?

Martin doesn’t have the potential of youngsters like Talagi, who is three years younger than him.

Says who?

The club that didn't keep Galvin for an example

Galvin is also three years younger than Martin, and also has a top thirty contract. Martin doesn’t even have a development contract.

I said a possible. He has some ability.

 

[JokerEel]

Yeah you got my point

 

[Lemon Squash]

I thought Martin showed enough in a couple of games that he was worth persisting with.

He is 21 but he is a typical example of a young player whose development was stalled through covid, he changed countries and changed sports, he is just catching up now. The kid has speed and moves just about better than any outside back we have in the club.

He’s no guarantee to make it, but there is something there .

 

[hineyrulz]

lol every thread.

 

[Gronk]

To be fair, this club found him and brought him to Sydney and has given him the opportunity to be a professional sportsman. So to suggest that we are now mishandling his progress is more about this forum than anything else. He has literally played half a dozen games of senior football after Flegg last year. Impatience much ?
