Knock-on Effect NSW Cup - Eels Team

[JokerEel]

And without it he would've had a new contract offer from us.

That's because they accepted their offers quickly. The Knights obviously gave Drown a longer deadline so he had longer to decide. If there was no PO do you think the Knights or Eels would have made their deadlines shorter? We were obviously happy with round ten, which is why we agreed to it in the first place. You're acting like if there was no PO we would've told him to re-sign by November or f**k off. You'll note he didn't wait to round ten to make his decision.

He would have been offered a new contract prior to November 2024 he would have also been told he had till x to sign or we sign Blaize.

No I am fairly sure we would have told him he had before the off-season to sign for 2026 or f**k off.

Talagi had already signed elsewhere months before Drown was free to test the market.

You like leaving out key bits of information

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Whatever you're talking about, it looks like you've left it out too.

Blaize has shifted to centre for th Riffs CUP game.

It's interesting as you would think for his development as a 5/8 he would be playing 5/8..

Has Toelau jumped him

 

[JokerEel]

Billy Smith has twice made Blaize his bitch stepped past him scored on the second attempt..

Kid was rushed into first grade waay to soon

 

[senior]

Trent Toelau will be starting six for Penrith next week, with Blaize back at 6 in cup

 

[Gronk]

Interesting that Zac Hunter has started today as a benchy in Ron Massey.

Don’t care about Talagi he’s just shite. But Sanders I thought should have stayed and waited for an opportunity. Another 1-2 year deal. Kids these days have no patience. He could of learned off Moses, could’ve already started this year and most definety would be first can off the rank to fill in for the fraud Dylan Brown

Volkman and Hawkins have both played better in reserve grade than Sanders/Talagi. Which is not to say that those two won't become better players in future (I'm sure they will), just that they aren't right now.

Talagi has played more first grade than cup

Doesn't that make him a superstar in your algorithm

He is probably the second best player in his age group. But most of his NRL experience is in the outside backs, not the halves.

Sanders in an interview said he didn't leave for an opportunity to play 1st grade

He said he wanted to get out of his comfort zone as he's been in Parramatta for all of his life

That's a very strange thing to say when u haven't played first grade. I'm almost certain he left because he thought Moses and Brown will be there for years to come. I have more chance of playing 1st grade at the roiders

At our club? Whose spot would he take? Maybe Tago/Samrani? As soon as JAC (or Simonsson) are back they would have pushed Talagi out of the team.

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

Sliding down the pecking order... a long way from the "hype" that he left us to play alongside Cleary, in the position Luai would vacate.

We could never really settle on what his future position might be in a backline. I didn't see anything other than maybe a potential fullback or winger... but not a very good/reliable one.
