7. Who is the worst value recruit of the season?

Kieran Foran 49%

Got that right!!

I don't know what people see in Mitch Rein.
- Slippery. > Cʜɪᴇғy Mclovin 🐐 August 26, 2016 at 10:20pm
  
  I don't think we have seen the best of him. The coaching style and the players around him haven't help. I believe, in the right side, Mitch has plenty to offer. If the Eels could sign him for the right amount of $$$$, I for one, would be excited to watch his game develop further.

3% for Jennings as the best recruit and Beau Scott not even a mention. A lot of these fans don't watch enough footy.
- Mightyeel > FME August 26, 2016 at 10:05pm
  
  Beau Scott wasn't an option to choose
- Mo > FME August 26, 2016 at 11:47pm
  
  I agree.

  I think Michael jennings was the worst buy in history.... His signature cost us the salary cap

Good to see 37% voted for a draw after 80mins. A fair result.

It be good if there was a poll on these questions

Do you think the Salary Cap Works?

Do you think All other teams are obiding by the cap?

Have Referee performance been Detrimental to the game this year?

Have you consider watching Either NSW cup or Queensland Cup rather than NRL due to the time it takes for a decision to be made on a try?

How would you rate Todd Greenturds first year in charge?
