Aus schoolboys

3 Eels playing in the Aus schoolboys right now. Its been a scrappy game with plenty of drop balls and the ref blowing the pea out of the whistle so hard to get a gague on talent as to stop start.

Chris Petrus - Been his usual self. Hard running, light feet, big hits, couple of handling errors but that has been the theme of the game. Im at the point that its a matter of when not if he makes his NRL debut. Hes still SG ball eligible next year but id start him at cup and give him time against men

Cameron Bamblett - Has been quiet, has been moved around a lot and the stop start nature has meant there hasnt been much broken play where he excels at. Started at FB but was moved to bring Breyton on (Dogs have a good one here, kid looks like a superstar in the making, im getting Reece Walsh vibes)

Jackson Koina - New kid we recruited from the Broncos. Looks like a Ryles kind of prop. Big athletic build, very good mobility, good engine -saw some effort on effort plays where he was urgent to get back to his feet and contribute, and was used as a link in the middle and looked comfortable passing the ball

  • Do we have any good middles coming thru atm?

    does Saxon Pryke and Brock Parker have a future at the club? 

    Parker looks like a pretty good defender 

    • Parker reminds me of Makatoa. Very limited game. Workaholic in cup. But don't think he will be able to cope with the speed and athleticism of NRL. Pryke got a bit more to his game but go injured when he got a starting position in cup. 

      I think Tyda, andT Brown are the best two young middles at the club.

"He has been training with Roger Fabri prior to joining the Tonga camp. Very happy with that. I thought the one thing Iongi lacks was a yard of top speed. So hopefully he is slighly faster and quicker from the training"
