1EE Modern day Eels team: Five-Eighth

Posted by LB on March 4, 2026 at 1:29pm

So Centre is all done and dusted. Timana Tahu and Jamie Lyon are the Centres chosen.

Now onto Five-Eighth, think i might know where this would go but someone also could surprise.

Side Note: I put Brett Finch in here as i can separate the art from the artist. We judging players not the person. Just clarifying. Also he played a full year at 6 and only played 2 full years so i classified him for 6.

  Yep and that's why B Kenny should be the only candidate for the 6 in my humble opinion opinion Dave as i don't care when they played if they have put the Guru in and so he should be then what's the difference as Guru and B Kenny where in the same team hey Dave . I think it might be that alot on here were not fortunate enough to See Price Sterling Guru And Bert Kenny and the rest of Gods little children as I affectionately used to call them Hey Dave . I know LB has made the blog about Modern players but with Grothe being named I can't go past Bert Kenny for the 6 as a said just my humble opinion

        I haven't written Jr as I want to save time and move on. I thought people would understand the difference of Grothe from Modern Era tag.

        All good Hector. The likes of Grothe, Price, Kenny, Sterling etc. would make it that up to 4 surveys are null and void as we know who they are.

    Junior got named not senior for Grothe.
    
    That is why I prefer modern day discussion as it is someone other than Kenny it would be a quick survey
