Knock-on Effect NSW Cup - Eels Team

[Lemon Squash]

I feel we all want Samrani pushed to the backrow purely because we don’t have any.

From what I have seen he looks like an OB which unfortunately we are flush with (albeit not many good ones)

 

[Gronk]

191cm / 102kg

tiny.....

He might end up there one day like Ben Smith. But I vote no for now.

Which is probably why Gus let him go. Not quite there in any position.

Atm edge forwards are a critically endangered species at Parramatta.

You got any idea what happened to guymer?

Assuming he is injured not playing at all this weekend.. though he isn't an edge forward which has me baffled why not

 

[emjaycee]

I'd say he might just be having a rest and they are managing his loads.

I wonder if he's injury is still troubling him

Except he wasn't included on the injury list.

We could presumably play both Papalli and Matterson in Cup at12pm at Lidcombe, for one of them to head down Parramatta Road and back-up to be 18th man at Parra Stadium for 4pm.

But if they want to play it safe and have a fresh 18th man, then we're looking at late change promotions today to fill the spots of Ofa, Lana and one of Papalli or Matterson in the named Cup team.

Pretty sure there is a rule about playing a second game on the same day.

 

[the phantom menace]

But I thought in other games (when both at same venue) we often play our named NRL 18th man option in the preceding Cup game....?

Onece bitten, twice shy?

[JokerEel]

Bar TV app is super slow for me is everyone in the world trying to stream this match

 

[JokerEel]

Try already to us through Nanva?

Back to back penalties for us..


Matto looks good ball playing as a lock.. never understood why we never tried to get him to play like Yeo at 13..

 

[JokerEel]

Joash with the kick from the sidelines

6-0

 

[JokerEel]

Hands down with a knee injury doesn't look good...

 

[JokerEel]

Kruz on at hooker

 

[Obscene Assassin]

This ref is a bit iffy. Tigers threw an offload that went forward and we knocked on, tigers scrum. Tigers kick the ball dead, says it came off us goal line drop out
