Most of the young guys mentioned in my top 25, plan to stay at the Eels for the long run.
A friend of mine is good mates with O'Hanlon, and he's already stated he wants to be an Eel for as long as possible. In other words, for his entire career.
Exciting prospects coming through though, and I think they can all perform well in the NRL.
It's probably the best crop of juniors coming through since the Hindy, Cayless and Burt era.
Can't wait to see them unleashed in first-grade.
