Rumours and Stuff

He averaged 129mtrs. It's fair. Ideal would be 150mtrs. Not many guys will average 200mtrs like Too.

But the point is how many of those Meters are taking the first hit up off the back of a kick. Getting the set started on the front foot.

Oh I understand the structure Twiz. Its how much weight each member has and Id suggest little is done without a BA rubber stamp.

its a good point you make, I mean there would not be much point in appointing a coach and then not backing him

The Ginger Mullet goes alright.

prefer the ginger ninja

Absolutely. For better or worse. He made a GF after all.

 

[Rocket man]

Sivo is fine for that. Agree we need another.
Russel may bulk up. Cini has the style. Dunster who knows. Then there is Waqa and Simmonson. 5 options that are all probably on similar levels.

Sivo doesn't seem to hit the line at full pace.
I think he should change direction before the line. He would more than likely make more meters and break through more often.

Train and Trial contracts apparently. Rankin is on a train and trail contract? I thought he was just keen to play reserve grade and do other things?

EELS: Jordan Rankin (half), Larry Muagututia (prop), Jayden Yates (backrow), Elie El-Zakhem (prop).

Why is El-Zakhem on a train and trial contract he should be top 30

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Should of gotten rid of that slug Paulo than hey???

Possibly, but then he is one of our leaders. He might be irreplaceable from an organisational culture perspective.

Why is Larry. I thought he was a hot prospect or at his age is this a good thing?
I thought Yates was let go.

Another smart club will sign him up as a part time assistant while he is coaching Union. Even if they don't keep him having this positive reporting will help attract players.

What's a train and trial contract? Contract until the end of the trials? Then they either make the 30 or get cut?

I would assume ranking won't make the 30 we seriously need to be looking at Falls from Penrith. He can kick goals.

geez, he made some big metres for Lebanon last night playing in the back row which isn't easy to do against the Aussies

he looks OK

I thought he was Lebanon's best player. He should seriously be looked at for a bench spot next year not a train and trial contract

Why would you waste a train a trial spot on Rankin?? Ridiculous, isn’t he on the coaching staff now?? Some of the decisions made of late are mind boggling. But but but Bea only just has a say lol.

Larry I find odd. But it might be more a good thing for a young violent as in if they don't make it they go to Jersey flegg squad.
El Zackem was not part of our top 30. So also I see this as potentially a good thing. He will have chance to be in the top 30 rather then outside it

Tell BA ffs.

He was previously an assistant at the Roosters.

Given the lack of edge backrowers on the roster.....

I think it means a full time contract that lasts the duration of pre-season. Often described as ‘pre-season training with the NRL squad’ or similar. At the end of the pre-season they either get a full time contract (top 30 or development list) or they revert to their existing contract status (part-time contract for Flegg or Cup).

I would assume ranking won't make the 30 we seriously need to be looking at Falls from Penrith. He can kick goals.

Do you mean figuratively or literally?
