1eE Modern day Eels team: Bench back-rower

Posted by LB on March 11, 2026 at 8:09pm

We finally made it to the last spot in the 17. The bench back-rower.

Dean Pay and Junior Paulo won out the bench middle spots. Narrowly beating Daniel Wagon (who i secretly hope gets the 17 spot as he is underrated to me).

Once this is done i will do coach. Please let me know if you want another one of these and if so what do you want next?

Daniel Wagon a middle?? He never played middle his entire career!

Anyway, my pick for this spot is David Solomona or Ice.

  He played Lock a fair bit, so i count that as middle per say. Same with Beau Scott played a bit of Lock for us.

Tougher...went for McCracken as he is a better centre option if the need arises.

  Love that you are thinking it as a game scenario selection. Great thinking Badger. Put it this way the votes at the moment are surprising me.

  I pretty much went with who got the most votes in prior survey.
