Ky Rodwell has been named to start for NSW cup, Hands goes to 7 and Rankin back to 1.
So not sure why Rodwell is playing cup but JA is not, but surely playing 11 mins is enough for his development. Plus why is Rodwell even there? If he played 5mins i'd understand but he got roughly 20 mins? I hope we are not seeing what the bench will be as Matterson is back next week meaning Niukore will move to the bench but either JA, Rodwell, Makatoa or Kaufusi will miss out for Niukore. Hope it is not Rodwell.
Anyone know why this might be the case of him playing? And JA not as he should be in due to limited mins played, let the kid play as much footy as possible.

with a game on Thursday it seems like it is definitely BA's intention to name Jake as the utility again.
Beat me to it. I won't be surprised if he stays there for the rest of the season.
Aside from what we've all known and said about Jake not being ready and nepotism etc ..
Is any other coach developing an inexperienced young half by letting them bypass Cup and play 11 mins in at hooker in an NRL game ? Baffling . Truely weird way to develop any player .
Developing? He's done developing mate, he's now a bona-fide regular NRL player.
Yep Muttman that's Jakob on the bench for the rest of the year
Eels utility going forward
Let's see if anyone will support JA on the bench IF he is picked on the bench and Matto is available on Tuesday's team list
I think it seems done that the bench is JA, Maka, Kaufusi and Niukore
If that is the case , very tricky times for us -and it won't surprise me if this affects the minds of those potentially re signing 😌
Just keeping JA fresh for 1st grade this week.
Imagine how weak the bench would look without him on it.
MADNESS!
Cleary will be game planning a fortnight in advance for him
JA as a utility or even named on the bench is the most idiotic selection made by the Super Coach in his 9 years as Super Coach.
Bench should be: Rodwell, Kaufusi ( not that I prefer him) Perham ( as utility) Grieg or Makatoa or Nuikore with Matterson starting in the run on side
