Could we actually compete for the premiership?

1) great players in key positions. Hayne peats and sandow check2) ability to score plenty of points. Check3) depth within the squad. Too 4 in all 3 grades at present. Check4) kicking game. Very good from sandow at least5) forwards. After the last few weeks I am feeling better about the forwards6) defence. Has been questionable from week to week but today looks like a big step in the right directionI know it's easy to get carried away but when you think we have Edwards fui mossop and tanginoa all not selected for first grade today it starts to make you think how good are we really?I would have been ecstatic with a top 8 finish this year, so even having this suggestion seemed crazy at the start of the season

  • Nup.

  • So much footy to be played yet so its hard to make a call on this until later in the year. Injuries etc. will play a big role in where we finish this year. Nothing wrong with being optimistic though we finally have a reason to be.

  • Yes, but win no! I know Sandow has improved this year, but Hayne needs a partner that can guide the Eels to a premiership.
  • Sorry but no, I think we may sneak into the top eight but I still will be happy with top twelve.

    Dragons and Sharks are not expected to make the eight, we only play four more matches at Pirtek this season.
    We have a tough run home, one saving grace is Hayne will only miss one game through SOO duty with our favourable Bye schedule, assuming he is not injured or rested.
  • We are competing for the premiership
    We just won't win it lol

    Love ur unicorn brian smith
  • We've had a few great games? Every game we win everyone says "it's one game don't get ahead of your self" we'll were now 3rd on the ladder after 10 rounds I think we're aloud to start being excited
  • This team has the potential of becoming a better team than 2009. In fact I heard  that this has been our best start to a season, since 2005.

    If we can make the 8, anything can happen with a team which has J Hayne.

    • First win yo nil since 2009. Best start to the season since 2005 - that's 9 years and 8 coaches ago!!
  • If Parra did win a premiership it would be due to coach Arthur giving the players an amazing self belief which would improve their performance incredibly over time.
