Eels sign James Schiller from Newcastle.
Favourites to sign Bradman Best
Will pivot to Jack Bostock if unsuccessful and will have to fight with the Sharks and the Dragons for his signature

What are you talking about? He came to the club as a Centre. He played over Russell later in the year. Ryles even dropped Kelly early in the year and brought Samrani in before he himself got hurt. As soon as he was fit, he was back in.
If we get Best for 2027 for example, Samrani wont start. Simple as that. Not because we don't view him as a Centre, it is due to having a better option.
Yep. Samrani far outplayed Russell at centre in attack, though his defence wasn't as good. But also, guaranteed starters would get pai a fair bit more than fringe first graders, who get paid more than backups. If we already have Penisini on the books for 2028 and we are looking at signing Best, then the only offer we can make to Samrani is for a fringe first grader. It makes sense that he would be looking for a top 17 spot somewhere before accepting a lesser offer to stay at Parra.
He has played only Centre in his entire career. As a junior at Cronulla and a Cup player at Canterbury he was a Centre.
Whether the game itself demands him to play another position or not, he is a Centre until further notice. Therefore, when comes to Round 1, incase of another signing, Samrani will be starting Centre. Now our pursuit of Best shows we want an upgrade, until then Samrani is starting.
Im saying hes a back rower. You're fired !
Schiller will play wing.
That is why i said Samrani starts over him.
On the plus side his big strong and has tackle busting ability. On the negative he has a few errors in him. His a good project to work on. Has plenty of upside.
His trashhhh
Defensive is his biggest issue.
Alot of people unhappy with this signing he is a good winger who came cheap he isn't a world beater but will definitely do a job if this keep cap space free for a big singing or 2 it's a great signing if we sign Noone then it's terrible let's just wait and see.
