Knock-on Effect NSW Cup - Eels Team

[Gronk]

Looking at 2025 The Roosters have no one coming through and Keary leaving. Thier cup side is absolutely plod same with their Flegg.

But they will just buy players to fill the gaps.

Storm have three reserve grade sides full of players they have warehoused in an attempt to find maybe one or two to play NRL per year.

They are the Godolphin of the NRL, buying up yearlings by the scores and hoping that a few make it to the city races.

That strategy can’t be cheap

 

[Twizzle]

I wonder who's playing 9 in cup this week and if Guymer is on the bench?

A lot of our players dont have photos on the team list, we really are a bit amateurish some times, how hard is it to take a photo ?

Good to see Lussick now being made to play Cup, where his true level of skill appears to lie.

 

[the phantom menace]

And Moretti's inclusion has pushed Guymer back to the bench in the pecking order... though I expect Guymer to still play a decent 60mins.

Could just be for resting but I find it interesting that Arthur isn’t named at all in cup and lussick is. If you check the flegg team, tuivati is named. Maybe Arthur could be getting his call up after the bye

Likely the fact that Reggies are playing less than 24 hours after Arthur plays in Origin?

Tuivati is unlikely to get huge mins in Origin from the bench?

Yeah probably, wouldn’t surprise me if he’s pulled out all together. But either way, having lussick play 9 this weekend seems telling to me. It seems time for Arthur to get a few minutes off the bench now

Doh.
Origin is Thursday night so less than 48 hrs, not 24.

FFS, why did I think today was Thursday?

it was a 4 day working week last week.

You probably got caught up with the excitement thinking its a short week again.

Lussick needs minutes, just like all the other top thirty players in NSW Cup this week.

He needs to get Parra fit

 

[Twizzle]

he needs ability more than he needs minutes

 

[Poupou Escobar]

With so few NRL games at his age, he is obviously not a first grader. But we don’t have any NRL quality hookers at our club, so he needs to be ready to play.
