Now that was a team! Damn we had a good young team back then-if they were THAT good then, lets hope we're go one better...imagine of Hayne was in the 01 team, Parra would've won the GF IMO

Hodgson was pretty handy at fb. Not in Haynes class but he scored some brilliant trys that year.

Hayne would have been useless in the '01 team, I think he was only 13 years old then so he would have got completely smashed.
We just ran out of time in the GF,the second half was great ,I remember most people leaving at half time disgusted but I stayed tell the end and we almost pulled of a miracle. Fuck 2001.
Great video. I also found this video on Youtube which I think was the first part of a highlights reel for 2001. It's about half an hour long but is worth the watch:
"Yeah our centres and wingers are interchangeable. Do you know if Joash has had any previous experience on wing or centre? It sure is a relief to have a fb replacement at ready if unthinkable happens, coz that was always a huge concern and gutho…"
"I dont like moving Russell who is obviously showing he can play very well as a centre. He has never played any good on the wing and sadly I expect him to play poorly this Thursday.
I would have gone with samrani on the wing. Not so much because i…"
"I get that, but we know that Melbourne was offering to pay legal costs with the view to obtain Lomax's services. Settling without going through the full legal process tells me that they were aware that they would not obtain his services, so…"

Hopefully heading towards a great era with Jennings, Semi, Foz, Manu, Tep, Edwards etc...

Good to see Pat Richards in eels colors.
Brett Hodgson, guy scored great trys
Yeah it was a great team, but in hindsight the Newcastle team was better.
I think the 2001 eels side was great at second phase play and, a bit like the second half of 2009 side, when it got on a roll it was unstoppable.
When I think about it I actually like out team this year more. especially our spine.
