Knock-on Effect NSW Cup - Eels Team

[JokerEel]

No, testing starts long before merkins get a run in higher grades. That’s how clubs decide who gets a run and who doesn’t. They already know which Flegg players (or Flegg graduates) will struggle in NSW Cup, because they observe them in the junior grades and test them at training. If you can’t do it at training you’ll never do it on game day.

This isn’t to say that players who train well will automatically make it. But it’s the first barrier. They need to prove they deserve a chance in a higher grade (e.g. NSW Cup). Then they need to prove they can handle that grade. There aren’t enough reserve grade opportunities to give every Flegg player a run. Those opportunities go to the players who prove their speed/strength/fitness/technical ability and professionalism beforehand.

f**k me you love to be argumentative...

Those guys I named have proven in Flegg over the past 14 or so weeks that they can defend against players under 21 it's now time for them to do it against older more experienced players...

There is no harm putting them in CUP instead of those Merkins I named that are RMC players.

If they make it they make it if they don't they don't...

But putting them in cup benifits the club more than playing these Merkins
Alfred Smalley
Kayne Kalache
Meni Luke
Beau Newlands
Beni Valu

As well as wasting time with Carty Greig ect who are gone next year...

Why do you think Guymer and Pryke (both Flegg eligible) got a run instead of all these other Flegg forwards you think will be able to keep up in reserve grade?

The harm is that they haven’t earnt the right over the players who have. How is that good for club culture?

Reserve grade is to prepare merkins to be NRL backups, as well as to test youngsters deemed ready (e.g. Nanva, Twidle, Penisini, Guymer, Pryke). The ones getting an opportunity show that the club are happy to pick players out of Jersey Flegg. So the ones not getting picked must not be up to standard.

I assume the NRL contracted players get the week off if they wanted

 

[Stagger eel]

The Lussick brothers going head to head….we should get Darcey to ref.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Up against the defensive specialist in Morgan Harper.

Be a tough day i reckon.

 

[Timana]

For those playing at home, TCT don’t really talk up Richard Penisini as a glowing prospect. They do Twiddle however.

They did during the pre-season. They were saying what a physical specimen he was.

Post injury.... zip

 

[Timana]

Not really, 2 season ago Farrugia was speedy but he’s bulked up and is now just a decent winger. The others in Flegg and Ball are strong etc but none have elite speed.

what about alamiddin (sp?) is he quick or is he To'o like?

 

[JokerEel]

He not quick..

But does make meters on a hitup

 

[Chipmunk]

So why would Cartwright, Lussick and Hands still be playing?

 

[Stagger eel]

Yeah he’s not fast but does have that powerful build and doesn’t mind the contact…

 

[Timana]

Ya reckon he'll stay as a winger or move in as a backrower

 

[Poupou Escobar]

f**k you Pou Neemia is in the cup side!

Hopefully he does a good job, but he’s up against very good opposition. Other Flegg-eligible merkins playing in this game are Twidle, Nanva, Hunter, Pryke and Lewis.

I said if they wanted merkin ffs!
