This blog would be more apt as an orf season blog, but watching some matches through the year and of player who could make a difference with the eels, based on their form with respective clubs
Watching todays Manly and Chooks game. I watched the abject brilliance of Lattrel Mitchels play for the chooks especially in the way he scored his 3 tries.
Attacking brilliance and vg defence with goal kicking skills to boot. What an addition to an NRL club. As for forwards, many of the younger brigade seem to be erratic in form. but one who has impressed me is the Panthers Viliame Kikau
For me I would love to see Mitchel playing for the eels.
So, while both are under contract at their current clubs. In an imaginary if possible team having those two players added to our playing roster would be great.

Great choice. Or maybe would be if Norman wasn't there. Those two together could be a concern
Arnold Schwarzenegger
The Morgzilla,Fui and Lee Mossop.How can I leave out our greatest alumnus, Joseph "The Crabman" Paulo?
Andrew Fafita to bring that Alpha, high energy, skillful and aggressive style to our pack, i think he's great behind the scenes building comaraderie, i think hes a very good player who stands up when it counts, the type of guy you feel good running out with.
Cameron Smith for his leadership, discipline, ability to control the refs and game, he'd fix our problem of no leaders and assist the coach at training, yes hes a bit old but definitely him at his peak would have been invaluable.
Tedesco, hes well on his way to being one of the elite, would be a great edition.
James graham. Our club needs a leader and there isn't many better forward leaders than him. Always gives his best effort and other forwards follow his efforts. For big man it crazy how often he there in cover defence situations.
The backs are harder and with all the hype in Latrell Mitchell I think esan masters from tigers can be just as good but a lot cheaper. Doesn't have the leadership our squad misses but is a top line talent. Looked good when playing for kiwi side but been bit quiet attack wise for tigers side struggling to score points prior to this week. In strong backline like roosters would look a superstar.
