Knock-on Effect NSW Cup - Eels Team

[Black Panther]

Yep hyped up way too soon..

I called it when he signed he wasn't going to get first crack at the riff.

He is coming back from an injury, so it was going to be hard to start at 6 round 1. He was solid yesterday in limited opportunities with the ball and mostly put his body infront when defending.
Cole is a much better defender than Blaize for sure, but give him time he will be right for first grade again.

If any coach can sort out Talagi, it's Ivan Cleary.

I'm backing him to be an above average First Grader at Penrith.

His defense was pretty crap in the first half yesterday touched the ball twice in the first 20.

Not inspiring.

True enough and he’s a decent attacking player, the real issue that you guys have to solve is defence. That’s been his question even from Harold Matts and up , even allowing for some serious health stuff. It was easier to cover for him in lower grades.

Hope he goes OK and improves in a new system.Will be an interesting watch that’s for sure.

 

[Avenger]

Usually someone would get out of their comfort zone once they’ve proven themselves and need a new challenge. Kid wasn’t even remotely close but had massive potential

Plus $400k a season to try and find yourself could be another reason.

It could also be that Blaize has made the move towards the end of Penriths cycle. Time will tell.

I'm looking forward to this game. Do you merkins know what the quality will be like on BarTV Sports? Is it just an Uber driver with a GoPro on his head like yesterday's Flegg coverage?

It all varies but more than likely will be the go pro version..

Might get lucky and have commentary

 

[Poupou Escobar]

You never know your luck.

 

[Cumberland Eel]

I don’t know lads I think I prefer the Bar TV coverage with no commentary.

 

[Cumberland Eel]

Carty already being dumb

This merkin has no idea. I wonder if he posts on LU.

If we ever read the words “muck in the ruck” or “EFTPOS tap’n’go” we’ll spot the merkin

 

[Cumberland Eel]

Eels up 4-0 after 12mins after Dunster scores in the corner.

 

[senior]

lussick barging over last tackle…

 

[Cumberland Eel]

Joshy Lynn crosses now. Nice work from Loizou & Carty who had drifted over to the opposite side put Miller-Stephen into the backfield. Lynn supports inside and the winger easily draws the magpies fullback for the try.
Eels 8 nil after 17mins

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Staines was trying for an EFTPOS!

 

[Cumberland Eel]

Magpies score from a scrum play 20ms out. Conversion unsuccessful.
Eels 8-4 after 30mins.

 

[Delboy]

Almost a guaranteed try agst the Eels, opposition scrum 15 metres out, spread wide and a winger goes in untouched.

We don’t seem able to counter they or worse, utilise it ourselves. Prime example, Flegg yesterday, so many similar positioned scrums and didn’t get on the outside once.

 

[Cumberland Eel]

Eels extend the lead through Dean Hawkins. A shift play at speed down our right side sees a well worked wrap around between Carty, Papali’i & Hawkins and the halfback proves too strong close to the line.
Eels up 14-4 after 37mins
