And now talk is Titans board considering keeping Hasler.
Agree BE. And in his last games with us, he becomes a defensive liability by leaving the defensive line but had missed to tackle thus leaving the opposing winger for a try.
Unfortunately, Lomax had also done this since he came back from SOO.
Show me any buying we are actually doing Blue Eel.
I'll call down once we start......
Frank that's a good question, I could say that Staggs and Cobb were available just a couple of weeks ago, as was Dane Gaga. The club was either not interested or missed out. Adam Douehi is available right now and can play 5/8 or a ball playing lock as well as centre. Centres off contract in 2026 include Herbie Farnworth, Roger Tuivasa-shock, Jack Bird, Averillo. Now if none of those were of interest to our recruitment gurus then I guess we would be looking for youngsters on the cusp that offer more potential then What we know we get from Bailey. EA is better placed to throw some of these youngsters names up either in house or at other clubs then myself.
On the outside looking in it appears our recruitment is letting us down, however if all these youngsters come off all together, then wholly shit we may get an Eels Dynasty.
It appears we are going the way of Penrith and the Raiders in reallyinvesting in youth and potential, and giving them clear pathways to first grade through our new academy.
Unfortunately outside backs is easily our weakest spot in the junior grades. Richie (20) is there and than Araz Nanva (21) has been having a good year. Alamadine (20) development has stalled this year. The next good outside backs are only 18 and younger.
Which is a shift as in the BA years we had a lot more better backs in juniors than forwards. It's a nice change but need a balance.
Our outside backs that won SG ball in 2023 were Richie, Talagi & Alamadine. So we had good ones coming through. RIchie is good. Talagi we all know. Alamadine did not have a pre-season and he started the season very slowly/poorly.
Samrani is strike weapon ?
Agree BE, he was an awkward player to fill a role that was becoming an injury liability. Hoping we can pick up someone different with speed.
Bailey struck pretty well for the 6 games he played this year breaking 29 tackles as well as having 8 offloads.
Sean Russell has broken 27 tackles in 18 games without having a single offload on his sheet.
Russell has improved a lot this year and has proven me incorrect on a few occasions but he is basic compared to Simonsson, who I label as being dangerous.
You dig deep after a major injury setback and tend to come back as a better player, mentally and physically.
Shame we will lose him.
