Parramatta Eels Juniors

[Cumberland Eel]

I think that's the way to do it. If they're good enough, they only need to be on a development contract for a year, then they join the bottom of the top 30 the year after that. If you can stagger them into the dev list, you could have 18 kids rotating through the dev list over three years. But to keep some of them you will need to promise a top 30 spot after that development year, and this is a decision you'd have to make while they're still playing SG Ball. It's risky because you could end up relying on quite a few kids providing NRL depth before they're ready.

I believe it’s a risk we’ll have to take considering our inability to secure high levels TPAs like other clubs but if there was ever a time (rebuilding phase / new coach) and class of young players this is the time to roll the dice IMO.

Nah sorry mate no idea. I’d say there’s been a fair bit of roster churn in this grade.

 

[Cumberland Eel]

The big #20 who just scored for us looks a handful.

He’s a legend…. Shit punter though

Nunn is a beast. How are we going to keep all these merkins? There's only six development contracts at a time.

Not if the current morons keep signing likes of f**king Tago

Max popo?

 

[JokerEel]

Flegg lost 5 tries to 4.

Not much info on players though...

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Polley looks bigger than last year to me probably 90-95kg.

Nunn just beasts it when he runs a good line from a short pass..

Polley turns 18 this year so he could still be 17. He’ll end up at least as big as Murray.

Yeah mate they’ve just more gears than the opposition if they hold onto the ball. Also a bit of killer instinct which is a very good sign. Have a ripper of a day @hindy111 dpnt drink too many of those craft beers mate!

This gave me a chuckle. As tempting as Bigs sues Box sounds I wasn't paying $69 for it

Who would be a better backup than him and why aren’t they playing in this trial?

Yes when we have a ball player ready to be an nrl backup they would end up taking his place.
