The Knock-On Effect NSW Cup Highlights | Round 12 - Eels v Sea Eagles

Relive the Round 12 highlights from Parramatta Eels v Manly Warringah Sea Eagles at Kellyville Park.

www.nswrl.com.au

Watch the Cup highlights of this week, quick, strong and decent passer, good defender generally and has been a stand out in Ball and Flegg. In the trial agst the Knights he was more than handy, tall and good frame. Worth taking a chance .

Could we blood him now with the view for next year? I just don’t need to see why we need to persevere with Brown this year.

TCT were confident that Galvin was Eels bound. Have those f**kers ever got anything right? Everything they rate, turns to shit.

Remember one of them tweeted Teddy was coming to Parra as well??? lol.

What I liked was that he seems like a big fella

 

[hineyrulz]

If he wants to come back here.

I would be telling him to shove it

He can stick some sweet and sour pork up his datehole.

I do listen to them but don't agree with what they say. That forty guys keeps on interjecting and speaking over the top of ppl

The league of inches guys are much better

Why would we want rheed? Riley does the same and has better energy

I really like to see joash in there at 14 like pj marsh

The only reason to persevere with Brown this year is he is pretty good and we are more likely to win games with him. That is a big reason even though we aren't winning the P this year. Getting each win is great - tends to make or break my weekend sadly.

Maybe Lock. I watched the highlights that @Delboy put up, he looks good but yeah he’s a big body for a 5/8.

He was good in the trial and he's not slow. Actually reminds me of a younger matterson

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Anyone thinking Api is a genuine option for 5/8 in 2026, need to consider this. Him and Papalii are the same age.

Api has played a total of 3 NSW cup games, and all at fullback. Papalii has played 45 games. Papalii was playing NSW cup before Api had even played Flegg.

BTW, pretty sure club has a player option for Api for 2026 for a development contract.

Id throw the 750k we were going to use on Galvin at Sandon smith.

They were also sure Dylan Brown would stay. And Mahoney. They have no idea

 

[JokerEel]

He’s not a 5/8, most mature good young one coming through is Api Twidle, played well in the pre season and been lighting it up when in Reggie’s, but playing at fullback and in support play.

Seems he still not signed for next year, see what happens.

Api has only played 3 games at CUP level unfortunately I think both he and Lynn are behind a few players.

The club just resigned Volkman and has Hawkins as well in CUP.. neither for me are the long term 5/8 option.

Joash could be a 5/8 he needs to continue to develop though.. Anything is possible.

If anyone wants to see a masterclass in gaslighting

Sandon Smith wouldn’t get more than $500k on the open market

Sandon Smith is average. His stats are comparable with Dean Hawkins.

 

[Ned Kelly]

According to those in the know Galvin was trying to leave the Tigers to join the Eels. Childhood fan and all that. Just as negotiations can legally take place he decides to join the dogs. Probably because Moses would have a higher ranking over him.

I feel for Parra fans but in the long run it will probably be best for you.

Reed is better at the moment but there is no reason Riley couldn’t be better than him. He seems to have all the upsides of Reed without the grubbiness he brings.

Api has played a total of 2 NSW cup games, and both at fullback. Papalii has played 45 ganes. Papalii was playing NSW cup before Api had even played Flegg.

Brown is barely a 5/8, seeing JPap next to others suggests he is not as small as some were saying. Give him a run there from off the bench and see how he goes. Not like Brown can complain and the value we can get out of this season is to try a few players out.
