Eels Prop forward Issac Jim, 198cm 120kgs and only 19 , is set to make his debut for the Parramatta Nsw cup side in the Semi finals this weekend. The James Fisher Harris look alike is part of a trio of future NRL giants, that will no doubt propel Eels forward stocks moving forward.
Already, 191cm, 117 kg Sam Tuivaiti (20) has shown that he will be a mainstay in our NRL team, and then there's Australian Schoolboys prop Ryda Tualagi, another young giant ony 18, and has already debut against men in Cup.
The future looks very good in the Prop position for the Eels. I think that is the reason Ryles has purchased the experience of Jack Debelin who can take that space for the next year or two and offer these great prospects his knowledge and football nouse, and by then all three will most likely feature in our NRL team.
Also, Davvy Moale for around 350k would be a good pick up aswell. Those in the know have mentioned his athleticism and potential moving forward.
I think if we get Moale, that would wrap up our forward signings for 2026, with another outside back signing most likely, especially if Simmonson leaves.

How many of these young forwards have mongrel EA.
Do any have the ability to change a games momentum with aggression.
Is there any you see coming through the grades that could debut in first grade and have the moxie to go after the oppositions Alpha dog.
Whats coming through the grades talent wise that intimidates the opposition and owns the middle third.
Do we have a forward on the rise that always wins the pissing contest.
Excellent post Bup.
Ryda loves to take on the opposition alpha. He is only 18 and immediately has gone after everyone in JF and NSW Cup. He has footwork and agile. He always loves to be the player involved in any push and shove as well. However he is still a couple years of FG which is understandable given his age.
When it comes to talent and game changing ability, that is Chris Petrus in the backrow. Just look at his 2 tries in the SG Ball final. Dominating JF already at 18 as well. Polley as well in HM is a try scorer for a lock/backrower.
Popo & Brown have plenty of mongrel to go with their huge motor and footwork through the middle. Both are different body shapes to each other as well.
Lokeni can be your Moretti style forward,. Pure leg speed and mongrel. Hit hard and run hard is what they do.
Thanks EA I'm interested in seeing what young Petrus delivers in the future.
From the little footage I've seen of Ryda I wanted him to stay at the club more then his brother.
Very encouraging he prides himself on being the big dog.
Thanks EA
Wow, fisher Harris mark 2
Exciting news potentially, we have 2 serious bookends like in 1986 - can we dare to dream?
They are dreaming calling him JFH. Plays nothing like him
Very misleading EA
Looks like Grieg tbh
lol I thought the same thing
