  Very sensible question, we are a team of workhorses, not a team of stars. There is no i in team and it seems that way now. Dont change a thing

  I'm excited to get guys like Taka & Mannah back, but Foran unfortunately needs to sort out his life outside of footy otherwise he is kidding himself if he thinks the Eels are his priority.
  This is not an option for a 1.2 million a year player.

    Not sure Gem, I'd actually like to see Rory get a bit longer on the field.
    
    He's a big unit and given some experience he might just be a different prop to what we have already. Álvaro is good but he and Mannah and even Wicks are too similar I think.

  Because Foz gives us better game management than anyone else, because Mannah is still a meter eater with super fast play the ball speed, and because Taka is a great defender and ball distributor. We won't out grind the Storm or outlast the Cowboys, instead we need some polish and extra creativity and defensive smarts to compete with the Top 4 teams. Why encourage a scrapper approach when we have the capacity to field a Top 4 front-runner team?

  I don't know what it is but I see something in Rory. Agree with you TBUR I would like to see him get more minutes in FG.

  None of those players mentioned are line benders, although O'Brien is a big unit and may be capable. Hope we sign a couple of good big props for next year, we will need them.
