Parramatta Eels Juniors

[Poupou Escobar]

How come we let Fuimaono go?

We had enough players at his position in the top 25.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

One of the most curious things is that the Eels consistently look smaller than other teams in NYC, I know that size is not the most important attribute but it is one that we seem to lack in recruiting

Plenty of NYC players are as big as first graders. This leads to strong NYC performers but these huge kids aren't necessarily the ones to become NRL players. Our best under 20s are French, Twal and Fuimaono and none of them are big for their position.

I thought someone posted on here a while ago that it was a genuine recruitment decision? That we wanted to develop and breed footballers, not rely on blokes who have just been 20kg bigger than everyone else their whole lives....

You did not let him go!he signed with souths after your second offer in early june!at this time he had only spoken with your god BA twice since joining the top 25 in november!lets all let time and results settle this

We were just saving a few pennies for Nathan Brown.

Yes agree u20s means nothing, but if you cant tackle in 20s you have no hope playing 1st grade. 20s is a stepping stone which normally indicates whether you can play at the next level

The question is how many potential NRL players can you fit under the NYC cap. It's only $200k and every club is after these kids. That blows their price out. So you could end up with your best four or five prospects taking up half the cap. That leaves $100k to fill out the rest of the squad. At that price it's a lottery for how much talent you can fit in the team. But the chance of any of them having first grade potential is minimal.

Well spoken analyst who has never earned a cent playing this game!

Tyrell was top25 this year.last year would have caused the nyc cap problems.sorry poups,read that wrong!

Souths arent happy about that!but they signed tyrell as a back or edge second rower,not a middle like brown

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Im not impartial!have only lost punting on this team,as they have constantly embarrassed themselves.today was icing on the cake.tell me how our spine performed.i actually felt sorry for mason cerruto as he hsd to constantly atrempt to catch the ball,with 1 mtr of field,and beat the opposite(105kg)who was about to smash him.well played!

Dargan is NYC halfback of the year and still eligible next year. It doesn't mean he will become a first grader but it does mean he is a high performer at this level.

No but I've earnt plenty as an analyst.

The NYC cap is only $200k (for 20 players). You don't need to be a professional analyst (or a professional footballer) to know that.

Tyrell was top25 this year.last year would have caused the nyc cap problems.sorry poups,read that wrong!

No chance he was top 25 this year. Full time squad was well over 30 merkins, but a professional analyst could tell you not all of them are top 25.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Wasn't one of the big impediments to re-signing Tyrell the fact that he's managed by a bloke whose son was stuffed around by some of lower grade geniuses, and who wasn't super impressed with the Hoppa farce, and who also happened to play for Souths?

Ok cheif analyst.check with the ATO my main man!this was the last year of a 3 yr contract,and it was top 25.if you have any clout,ask any decent parra official,they will confirn this for you.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

If he was top 25 he would've played first grade with all the injuries we had.
