Parramatta Eels Holden Cup & Junior Reps Thread Part III

[Jake the snake]

Been saying it for a few years now docker- clay has got nothing but wrong options. His best position would be hooker IMO as he's quick as his defence is half decent.

Davis has been a disappointment so far this season he looks so so slow. Twal and Muna were the only decent players in a very average team!!

 

[Jake the snake]

i was so impressed with their efforts, i decided to vacuum the house instead

Wow, that impressed hey...?

 

[strider]

i thought #11 did ok (from what i saw) ... fuimoaonoonanoooano or however you spell it

 

[strider]

Wow, that impressed hey...?

... and mopped the kitchen

#inspired

 

[Kornstar]

i have a bad feeling this is going to be quite a bag afternoon all round for us parra fans

Yeah i don't feel too good about today.......could be ugly in all games tbh.

This grade needs to go imo. What f**king dumb ass decided it would be a good idea to bring in a grade where they are not allowed to train more often?

The grade would be much better if they put more time into the players and they could learn how to play the game better.

The genius that is DF sold this concept , on the basis that reserve grade was expensive and you should make first grade by the age of 20. The clubs grabbed it as a way to save money

As expected his ideas have limited shelf life , NYC I
is not s good measure of ability to play NRL

Spot on!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

These guys train more and with better resources and facilities than Wenty NSW Cup.

The difference is Wenty is usually full of NRL players on fulltime contracts, at least at this time of the year.

No excuses there is no one is this squad that has first grade potential at this point. Blokes like ZDC, Davis and Fuimoano have gone backwards from last year.

Plenty of dudes backing up from last year's awesome side, though obviously few (none?) of the stars.

 

[The Engineers Room]

I was one of ZDCs biggest sprookers but after three years of NYC he just isn't developing and I think he was actually a better player in his first year. He seems lost in attack now and I think it is because he has been coached to do what he is told and seems not to have the instinct.

Well said. DF thought it would be great but many years later its falling down.

 

[IN THE KNOW]

the trouble is the NYC players think they have made it, and believe there own press. Spoke with ZDC previous coaches in lower grades and they have all said he was only a 9 as he did not have the temperament nor vision nor kicking game to play in the halves.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

It's obvious from watching on TV that he doesn't have the kicking game.

I'm not one to blow my own trumpet but I've been saying that for a while, He'll be 14 at Ron Massey cup level soon and that will be his greatest achievement in the game unfortunately

 

[Obscene Assassin]

So the New Zealand under 20's #7's greatest achievement will be that he's on the bench in the RMC?

His kicking game was pretty good last year when he had a genuine half alongside him. As much as I think Bevan is a fantastic player, and could potentially make first grade, I don't see him as a half. He's probably the best option we have for the halves outside of ZDC atm though. Given the recent form of the SG Ball team I wonder if we'll see any of those halves making the step-up later on in the year?

Is Troy Dargan one of those?

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Is Troy Dargan one of those?

You'd think so, but if he doesn't make it he has a great name for country music.

Nathan Davis scores but misses conversion.

4-0, 34 to go in the first half.

 

[Kornstar]

I know they'll make me look dumber than I already am but there is definitely much more aggression in defence today.

Also not sure how good a team Souths are either.

 

[Kornstar]

And then ZDC shows his true worth by throwing an interception! Damn he really is ordinary.
