Parramatta Eels have confirmed a new leadership group for the 2020 NRL season.
The Club is pleased to announce a five-man leadership group which includes captain Clint Gutherson, Mitch Moses, Junior Paulo, Nathan Brown and new recruit Ryan Matterson.
Parramatta Eels CEO Jim Sarantinos said the group includes a good mix of players who have been identified as having strong leadership qualities by their peers.
“Leadership across the club is a focus for us over the next two to three years. We are really looking to building that leadership capability not only in footy but throughout the front office.
“Having strong and influential leaders throughout the club, whether it be on or off the field is going to help us get to where we want to be,” said Jim.

You're operating under the assumption that all 30 players picked the same 5 guys.
I know they didn't all select the same 5 guys, but weight of numbers and all that.
Mack old Lurker/Ron left his job at Blacktown tip to be a fulltime dope, hence why he spends his days trawling the internet for eels related articles . Go Ron .
MACK YOU THE MAN.
See Brett. Calm down.
Chuck you still a security guard? Or have you moved up in the world and become a cleaner?
My captain My Captain
Slow down with the blogs Ron, you'll blow a gasket
Happy with this crew of players.
I’m surprised to see Junior there to be honest, but I hope it improves his character a bit.
I’m not surprised to see Matto there... I have a sneaking suspicion he’s sitting behind Gutho as Vice Captain right now for leadership qualities.
I am surprised Fergo isn’t there. I know he has a past and is a bit of a larrikin... but he’s also one of the best players on the team and currently our highest ranking rep.
From what I was reading the other week Paulo has been training all off season and it’s the first time in years he has come into pre-season training at a decent weight. I think it mentioned somewhere that his young family has changed his mentality and attitude. If this is the case then he has earnt it
Awesome news. Kind of exactly what I was hoping for.
