I think joash should definitely be our utility bench player giving speed to the ruck when fatigue sets in, a very capable player filling in anywhere in the backline if needed. I think walker should be our 13 with hopgood going to the middle rotation and giving walker a rest when needed. I'd like to see parra go after sandon Smith or pezet if galvin goes to the dogs both hugely talented half's
Joash has plenty of talent especially in attack but as with most young kids consistency and defense are the issues. Gus had big wraps on him in commentary but it is another promising junior that left the bulldogs.
That is 3 good buys from the bulldogs juniors. Samrani, Kautoga and Papalii now at the Eels. I would love to beat the bulldogs in couple weeks and see these 3 have big games. We have a buy following the bulldogs then titans and dragons games. If we upset the dogs or panthers next week then win the other 2 games, I believe that puts us in the 8 but don't see us staying there as our draw then gets harder.
"I'm with you mate, I can't recall the last time someone scored down our left side. Plenty on here bagged Tom Opacic but geez we missed him when he was gone. Not every player in the 17 needs to be a superstar, we also need players on a modest salary…"
"At current rate our centres can be improved upon massively.
Russell is sorta at his peak, Penisini still has levels to (re)discover.
We have Richie coming through.
I'd target Farnworth for 2027 to play left centre, that'd be a dream.
But yeah I do…"

If we don't get Galvin I would rather us develop within the club. Twiddle or Lorenzo.
Only Jason knows the answer to that question, any I'm wearing my eels colours around like BOSS! 😂 Go the mighty eels!
