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

  • Schiller's highlights show him playing both right centre and left wing. Fairly fast (many long range tries), tall (aerial threat; highlights have tries from catching kicks), and quite a large frame for such a tall and fast outside back. 

    Given the Eels have almost no depth in the outside backs, a big, tall and fast outside back who has first grade experience (multiple clubs) and can play either side of the field seems a good buy. A bit of a journeyman across multiple clubs so obviously there is some issue leading to him not nailing down a permanent first grade spot. 

  • He's got some speed and he has a good frame.. Very similar player to Samrani. Good depth signing that'll be able to challenge for a wing or centre position

"hey LB not having a go at you but IMO using Saab and Kiraz is not good as Saab is a poor mans winger and offers nothing and Kiraz is not much better."
