Parramatta Eels Juniors

[JokerEel]

Which ones?

Twidle
Lynn
Tuivaiti
Pryke
Brazel

I don't expect them all to get a call up this week but with the changes in Cup....

So with all the off season hype around Ethyn Martin, he must have some glaring problems that he needs to work on, if he can’t force his way into our NSW Cup side.

You would assume so! Nothing comes to mind watching him in Ball/Flegg last year when you compare him to some others..

Twidle and Lynn need to learn to play without Sanders and Arthur, I think they fit Flegg currently. Tuivaiti looked a bit under done last week. I agree with Pryke, he was on a tear ran hard every time and tackled everything in his path and did it for 70 minutes if not close to it. Brazel is a tricky one, he's working off a lesser halves pairing so it's hard to show what he's capable of. He is probably better than Alderton but maybe not Keir.

BUT I did put this in the new cap rules thread…

So if you drop Asi or Dunster or Cini for Ethyn Martin then maybe we don’t want to lose a depth player. Edit: dont care about Cini.

Top 30 players can seek a release from their contract if dropped below State Cup level.

Understand it’s a contracted numbers thing, the release of a couple of players this week should mean that Martin can be registered. Does sound a bit strange but that’s the info I was given.

Excellent, better than my gloom and doom bullshit.

So Mark ONeil signed Jake Tago from the Penrith juniors to play centre in Cup, any chance he thought he was signing Izack Tago. Michael Jennings left us 4/5 years ago and never replaced, now he’s on the Roosters NRL bench , recruitment really need to have a good hard look in the mirror.

I don't get the top line.. Why would you not want to bring players through together where they have combinations. That's how you develop.

Then they bring in Tago. When you could have moved Asi to centre Apa to fullback Lynn to six (but makes it a bit hard with Hands at 6 but he should be 14) but maybe it is a contract thing as Delly mentioned.

They were massively underwhelming in the loss to penrith last week. For 2 players who did full NRL pre-seasons they didn't play like it. This is their team, they can't sit and wait for Arthur and Sanders to do things for them, they need to do it themselves.

Cup was also underwhelming. Wenty must have killed it in RMC 44-0 win! Players promoted..

Did merkins not see him in the trial? He is too light for the wing.

He is very quick, so he stands out in the wide open spaces of under 21s footy. He is probably carving up in RM Cup.

Keir is a quality reserve grader. He might even get a run in first grade one day.

There’s plenty of players in NSW Cup outside the top 30. That isn’t what’s stopping Martin from getting picked.

The whole 30 seconds he was on for?

Do you think he might’ve gotten heavier with a longer stint?

Is he a contracted CUP player? Do you know how the rules work for players allowed to play in cup?

He probably could if he sat on his phone and read all the BS that you come up with

The top 30 isn’t stopping him from becoming a ‘contracted CUP player’ ffs. It hasn’t stopped some of the nuffies named in reserve grade this week.

If you don’t like my shit replies, stop asking shit questions.
