I think it's pretty obvious the eels need to shed a player or 2 to get a one or 2 big signings over the line. Simo is great and I love him but he does have an error in him and so bad defensive reads
Well right now Simmonson looks to be set and gone during the off season, we still need to sign a centre as our backline is stretched thin. And knowing the Eels luck they have non stop injuries. Who could be some options, Jake Averillo, Stafford Toa, Adam Doueihi, Phillip Sami, etc

I would love khan piera from the titans and put lomax back in the centres. In saying that I am very interested in seeing how much Russell keeps slowly improving. He reminds of a Joel reddy
Averillo mate. Speed to burn. One of the 10 fastest in the comp.

You could throw in Marwene Hiroti. Very good centre from the Sharks, already better than what we have. Apparently has not been offered a contract as the Sharks are struggling with their cap, plus he has Iro and Ramien in front of him. He wouldn't break the bank and is an upgrade.
"Or, the player can request a complete release from the contract and negotiate a new contract elsewhere, like RCG and Gutherson did. Obviously, that is dependant on Parramatta agreeing to the request. "

He's a decent player, gave us good service but is far from a match winner and not going to get any better.
I have great respect for Simmo. Let him go if he wants to.

Whats Khan like in the backfield or in defence?
Defence and high ball defusal is his weakness. But JR can hopefilly fix that

Meh why not.
Hiroti has been carving nsw cup this year. When he has played nrl his attack has been fine but defensively poor.
