2 for 8, well you do know that you don't replace every player you let go with outside options right?

  Especially when your pathways are looking so promising. These under 21s all played reserve grade last year:
  
  Nanva (22 games)
  Twidle (18)
  Pryke (17)
  Lokeni (14)
  Penisini (12)
  Papalii (9) and also played 13 NRL games
  Talataina (8)
  Funa-Iuta (7)
  Guymer (7) and also played 16 NRL games
  Talagi (5)
  Tuivaiti (2) and also played 11 NRL games
  Alameddine (1)
  Brown (1)
  
  Plus Tallyn Da Silva is under 21 and he played 4 games in NSW Cup for the Tigers plus 20 NRL games for both clubs. We have plenty of young talent in our club.

From what I've seen, I am not looking forward to this season at all, I think it's going to be a long 2026 season. We've gotten considerably worse and we'll be fighting out for the spoon, although I don't think we'll get it, at least I hope. Hopefully the club has made some big recruitment changes because what we've seen already is not it. I hope I'm wrong and we make finals and go further.

  The fact we improved as the season went on gives me hope.

    Well a mate of mine works for a mob that applies and fixes gym equipment. He goes to certain COE for teams. He didn't go to Parra but outside of Kellyville in September during finals.
    
    He said he saw the trainer and up to 10 Eels players in there already working out.
    
    If anything I think safe to say we will be fitter to start the year, as I mentioned early last year it is important to finish strong to add confidence and belief to this squad and the coaching staff. We did that.

  The spoon? Oh go away will you, seriously. If you said miss the 8 fair enough but spoon considering how we did with a worse 17 last year? Think Gold Coast or Newcastle have gotten better?

"After seeing how Moses finished the season in 2025 our 2026 season bascially is in his hands. The rest of the team is solid and does their job but the class of Mitch Moses is what wins you games. If he is healthy we will be in the 8 "

"One 1EE contributor stated that each club has an average finishing position ....ours is 9.25. Guessing we'll be somewhere around that mark.
I have zero expectations for this year and indeed any year. That way I do not get disappointed. If we go well…"
