I will be honest. I do not know much about a lot of these boys. I have heard a few being spoken off but to me, there are 3 main player to watch for. Hayden Bell will feature in HM again this year after a strong season. He has been highly rated for a couple years now and I assume will be the captain of the team. After rotating between lock, hooker and 14 looks like the eels have permanently kept him at lock which is his best position by far. During the trials he was the best player on the field and it was not even close. I would honestly compare Bell to Yeo. He has definitely grown taller since last season but still not very built. He is a very high IQ middle that likes to control the middle of the field. Knows when to pass and knows when to just dummy and run. He is relentless in defence and capable of putting on a big hit. Makes tackle after tackle and still has the energy in attack. Jake Capovilla is a tall lanky backrower that has also been highly rated for a couple years too. Playing a year up. Good worth ethic. Lorima Seuseu has rotated between centre and fullback in the trials. He didnt do anything spectacular but if you have watched him before you know what he is capable off. Hopefully he plays fullback. Seuseu is athletically well beyond every other person in the team and honestly would be one of the best in the comp. He is a year young too. Very strong runner and quick.

Lets just keep this short and sweep. This year in SG Ball should be an eels vs roosters rematch in the GF. Both teams are absolutely stacked. I don't even know how they will line up 1-17 because a few talented players wont even make that line up. Never thought that would ever happen in an SG Ball team since most players would jump ship to find an opportunity. Talagi and Fletcher will possible start the season in SG ball and move up to JF when that season starts before returning to SG ball for the finals in my opinion. I need a seperate post to go through the players listed in this team however I will create best 17 for fun.

Was going to say wouldn't Fletcher and Talagi be in Flegg but you said start in Ball so they are able to play in finals makes sense. I reckon by years end you will see a hand full of Ball players in Flegg.
If there was two players I'd extended until 2031 its Fletcher & Ryda
Both are extended til 2027. Fletcher seems to be really impressing in pre-season, similar to what Smith did last year. Not saying he gets near FG but he could play Cup earlier than expected maybe.
For him to play NSW Cup, there needs to be a few injuries. I think he will be in NSW Cup next year. I cant see Volkman staying beyond this year.
Just read that Joshua Lynn, Brock Parker, Dom De Stradis and William Lewis have all departed to join Q Cup teams.
EA : Are we any worse off?
They were getting too old for Flegg and we have much better for NSW Cup. I would've kept one of Lewis/De Straddis as they are versatile, but they would have started in Ron Massey so can't blame them going for a better offer.
👍
Yep Yehez is spot on. Lewis and De Stradis have a bit about them but would start in RM so they left for opportunity
Only ones i watched a little bit of were Parker and Lynn. Parker would make a decent career in QCup, he is your Dan Keir type. Just a worker, would do everything you ask him to do. Lynn is similar just does a job but i could also see him getting a chance at some point filling in somewhere and getting an NRL debut.
I cant see Lynn playing NRL. He is very inconsistent and a very poor defender. He hs a long way to go
