Hi Eels fans, can I divert your attention from the Saturday night final coming this week momentarily and ask about the squad for 2021? Scanning the press apparently we have 10 places available with squads staying at 30 but I have only seen mention of the Eels being mentioned in the player market in regards John Asiata (NQ). I am sure there is more going on behind the scenes but can anyone shed any light on players we are trying to get to the fix the hole for 1/3 of the squad? Appreciate a few of the younguns will step up but we will most likely be missing from the 2020 squad a lot of experience - Evans, Gower, Terepo, Davey, Stefano with others off contract W Smith, Taka, Salmon, Rankin. Any insights would be welcome. Cheers

That's exactly what's happening
Most of those 10 players will stay.
Taka, Gennings, Terepo, Salmon, Smith, Rankin will all stay.
Schneider, Hughes will be promoted.
Add a couple of recruits, there’s your 30
Wrong.
We’ll see
Youre stuck in a loop there brettles. Bang your head three Times.
hollis and Hughes should get game time next season
I do not agree with you. Just because the young guys haven't played doesn't mean they will add nothing. They have been hitting the gym hard and would not be too far off being match fit.
I like the idea I think this season it should of happened.
I also like the idea from 2000 when the season started early 6 on the bench 4 interchange and 2 reserves person the reserve comes on for is finished for the day. I'd adjust to 3 interchange played x6 changes. 2 reserves cover for HIA and potential impact players.
Doc, Evans will be in white cloud territory next year. I think that Hughes will be the bench filler upper.
I think some internal upgrades will happen main areas that need looking at are
• back up hooker
•edge backrower
•outside back cover
