That is an issue, most clubs have wingers in development and overloaded with them. Eels just seem to have forwards and halves
The last great winger we developed was who?
Honestly prob inu and Hayne when the broke onto the scene. We haven't really had anything of that level since
EG Jnr maybe not great but Origin.
But were they Wingers per say? Both came through as Fullbacks, Inu was more a Centre also.
Semi Radradra.
But we brought him over from Fiji. I mean actually had from Harold Matts or SG Ball and up.
This year, the club better try and develop Roksuka (19), Sorovi (18), Bloomfield (18) and Alamadine (21) as much as possible. They all have genuine talent to be FG wingers. Good thing for wingers is they can be gun players at a young age.
When you say great, you mean Hayne or Eric Grothe (Snr) or Leaping Lee Oudynryn
As for the value of wingers today, I believe strong yardage wingers have gone past the importance of strike centres. One thing the Eels have had recent success with is finding quality wingers. Both Semi and Sivo come to mind. Send some recruits over to Fiji and find some potentially good wingers at minimal cost and develop them for the next 12 months.
