Team List Toosday: Round 4 Eels v Panthers

[Poupou Escobar]

Cini isn't Top 30 either, Loizou they probably got away with saying he is only a centre.

No but Cini is in the development list, which is at least full time training.

Radradra played in our NYC team. Sivo never even heard of Penrith until he was in his mid thirties.

Sure but he played in our Harold Matts. The most pure of junior rep teams because so few players have contracts, especially back then.

So why didn't we keep Moses? We had no idea he would be any good?
Give it a break. We didn't rate him.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yeah, I think Waqa was an older signing too wasn't he?

No, he played NYC for them after being spotted playing SG Ball for the Pirates.

Well I have a bit of faith in BA now. He dropped Moimesea, bought in Hands and Matalele getting a look. Soon Lane will be back along with Russel and as I predicted in rnd 1 our best side will probably look a lot different come rnd 12.

Can you find Ron massey team lists? What sites

Nah, Yates preferred spot is at lock.

no chance with hoppas and matto there

The Tigers were spending huge money on junior ‘development’ back then. It’s why so many players at other clubs came from the Tigers’ system, including premiership winners Fifita, JAC, Tedesco, Korobeite and Papenhuyzen.

It doesn’t matter how much you rate them if you refuse to spend money to keep them in your system. Another club with a bigger budget will poach them.

Better update the succession thread...!

With what? Has there been upgrades?

Who cares about Ron Massey Cup? Has any merkin ever played there and gone on to play first grade?

 

[yy_cheng]

Very good to see some changes after starting 0-3...

Hands jumping over Jake Arthur into the bench utility role! BA seems true to his word that 2023 is the year for Jake to play full minutes running a NSW Cup team around the park.

Must mean Hands has been upgraded to Top 30 - can't see any grounds we'd have for exemption, as suddently realising 33 year old hookers with gammy knees shouldn't play 80mins wouldn't count?

Murchie out. Momo relegated off the named bench. Only Dunster listed as a shadow outside back - and no Russell... who was talking up that he'd be back for Round 4?

So was NRown correct?

It was a good call by you on Hands earlier in the year.. let's see how he goes now hope he has a solid game..

With Arthur not being a utility... as per your own post that I replied to.

Ryan Matterson.

Is he listed as utility?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Ryan Matterson.

Did he miss SG Ball?

 

[Chipmunk]

No but Cini is in the development list, which is at least full time training.

You'd have to think that both Lulelume and Hands train full time anyway. Surely we're not puting a bloke on the field who doesn't train full time?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

It’s a fair question.

Was Arthur ever a bench utility or simply coverage for the halves? A bench utility would traditionally get guaranteed game time, yet Jake often sat on the pine for the whole 80 mins.

Only 2 changes to last weeks final 17 - Matto and Hands in for Murchie (out injured) and Momoisea (not proven as a utility).

Russell's return was a talked up as a rumour only.

Russell's return was a talked up as a rumour only.

If I recall, you were the one who started and perpetuated said rumour.
