Parramatta Eels Juniors

I think there are 11 who have played a decent amount of nrl

Yep, my point was long term. I think gus said last night that it's easy to spot talent. It's not so easy to spot work ethic.

I reckon Ray Stone is carving out a career on the backs of merkins who have far more talent than him, yet don't have his work ethic. You could say the same about Gutho.

By all reports from the TCT/Parra Pod lads, big Larry M who played NSW U16 origin is struggling with a weight problem, hence why he's playing more with Cabramatta Two Blues these days than on the bench with Flegg. FFS Larry, you have the world at your feet.

So 9 first graders?? Pretty decent conversion rate if you ask me.

I reckon there’s at least 400 games NRL experience in that team.

Some posters only watch one NRL game a week and wouldn't be across some of the blokes running around for other teams tbf...

Some were watching nsw cup and ready to rub one out over an average player

f**k all ? no

I think it can be a decent indication of what will happen when they mature.

I suppose you're willing to ignore Sander's form too. I guess we shouldn't retain him then.

Like any player, we shouldn’t pay too much for him.

Obviously carving up in under 19s is better than not carving up in under 19s. My point is that Jake Arthur was playing well in reserve grade at that age and merkins don’t rate him. Why put Sanders on a pedestal?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

7 players from last years game have already had a taste of first grade. Yeah but I’m sure the game means f**k all.

Jake Arthur has had a taste of first grade! Jordan Rankin had a taste of first grade at 17!! What a bunch of stars!!!

How many games does a player need before he’s a first grader?

or dropped your pants

 

[the phantom menace]

How many games does a player need before he’s a first grader?

How many missed tackles does a first grader need before he's a poor defender?

The answer my friends, is blowing in the wind...

Lol. You reached your limit did ya mate? Totally understand.

1000 at least.

 

[Gazzamatta]

1000 at least.

Noooo. Ffs Hiney!
Its until they can score 7 trys against grown men.

Jake Arthur has a top 30 contract and first grade experience. Ethan Sanders has played a couple of games in Jersey Flegg.

Nah it’s when they carve up a bunch of 19 year olds ffs

 

[the phantom menace]

1000 at least.

Still a small sample size... when it suits.

number of games is overrated.


what’s important is if he lives within 5-7 minutes of the club.
