Knock-on Effect NSW Cup - Eels Team

[JokerEel]

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

Yes seems like he was just trying to even things up...

On a hand over play the ball we get pinged for offside when the line is set...

Anyway Tigers score 6-6

 

[Obscene Assassin]

Great ball from Matterson, great line from Mataele. 12-6 22 gone

 

[JokerEel]

Mataele scores from a short ball off Matto..

Almost gets stopped by Mason who k ows how to defend the try line (take note Ponga)..

12-6

Matto needs to play first grade

Matto needs to play first grade

Would play him at 13 with Hopgood at 8

 

[Delboy]

This officiating at the moment reminds me of U8 s when a parent from one side is reffing.

 

[Obscene Assassin]

One went our way I think. Samrani bats "back" a fairly regulation kick from Volkman to Carty who runs around them to score. Kick converted 18-6 31 gone

 

[Obscene Assassin]

Beautiful kick from Volkman has Smalley over in the corner. Kick unconverted 22-6 HT

So is Lachlan Galvin adding much of his class to these NSW Cup proceedings?

Still looking like we should through $1.2mil per year at him and his leech Isaac Moses, like it appears some in the club seem to keen to do...?

Galvin is playing on his preferred position on the left, he’s been playing on the right because of Luai.

But he hasn’t really stood out and plays very sideways, doesn’t straighten the attack.

his worth is 700-850k

 

[King-Gutho94]

I think Lachie is just protecting himself for s future investment.

Why put the body on the line and jeopardise any chance of getting out of tigerland.

That's why I wouldn't spend the desperate money on him that Isaac is seeking.

Agree your valuation is sensible, and if we put that offer on the table for 2027 - or earlier, if Tigers release him from Cup, which I doubt - then I'd be ok with it.

Galvin also hasn’t trained with the cup team… I doubt he’s putting his 100% into a team that doesn’t want him around

 

[Obscene Assassin]

It's hard to do much as a half when your team can't make it over half way. Imagine trying to judge his worth based on 60 minutes of reserve grade where the 12 other players in his team have virtually done nothing

That's exactly why I'm reticent about his potential signing.

With our current pack, it's a bit of a waste.

matterson is class

He trained with them all week, didn't he? Pretty sure there were media reports...

Anyway, my point is Galvin's not worth the ridiculous amounts being talked up by Isaac in the media, and good luck to another club (Bulldogs?) if they're stupid enough to offer $1mil+.

 

[MarkInTheStands]

Bugger me it would be nice to complete a set

 

[the phantom menace]

matterson is class

But can't get a spot on the NRL bench, to do his customary 60min contribution (at middle and a spot of edge) that we was doing decently enough last season...

Maybe it's another Nathan Brown situation, where the only explanation is that he's had a personal falling out with the coach?

 

[Obscene Assassin]

22-10. Kick unconverted. 6 to go
