Knock-on Effect NSW Cup - Eels Team

So Maka named to rack up some Cup minutes after a 20min top grade cameo... and Sam L gets a game with Tago debuting in the top grade.

Moretti named as a Cup starter, with Guymer's NRL debut presumably putting him above Luca in the pecking order?

And maybe Lussick watching the games on TV from BA's loungeroom...?

I don’t rate Lussick.
So all the sticking up for Lussick (and Hodgson before him) when others could see his flaws were just you sticking up for the week-to-week choices of the coach that you liked...
But I trust Arthur’s opinion over Barrett’s.
But the team has played objectively (even selective statistically) better with Barrett's choice of Hands in for Lussick, you'd have to agree?

Even previous and current Cup Coach Cayless seems to have formed an opinion on Lussick when he came in (and seems to have been dumped down from) the Cup squad - where do you rank that opinion, and this week's Cup team list selections?

Hodgson was class. He wasn't to blame for our problems, as proven by our form this year.

He’s entitled to pick the backup he prefers, whether it’s Lussick or Hands.

No I don’t think so. The team has played better with Moses back, not because Hands is in the team.

If you rate the decisions of Barrett and Cayless that’s your business.

😂 The comparison should be the parts of last year without him, versus the parts of last year with him.

He's entitled to make mistakes too, and for people to comment on those perceived mistakes at the time of their making.

But you can't use the Moses return to completely negate any comparison between Lussick and Hands. You don't have a control group/statisitical evidence supporting your outright denial of the hypothesis that the team performs better with Hands than with Lussick.

Isn't Cayless entitled to select the hooker he wants from those available? And and the incumbent coach, shouldn't we also trust his apparent decision to overlook/banish Lussick out of Cup?

Half a season is a meaningless sample.

Lussick is a much better hooker than either of the ones named in reserve grade this week. He hasn’t been overlooked or banished. More likely is he’s trying to get back to England.

Lol.

Lol. Best way to achieve that would be to play in Cup, and play well. Unless he's flown over to England for an in person job interview...

Bryce back has made a big difference also
