I can't understand how this club can't produce wingers, ever other club has a stack of wingers waiting for an opportunity but we can't even produce one. Lomax recruited, addo-carr recruited, simmonson recruited, sivo recruited, even semi was recruited but without first grade experience.
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.
"Ever since we caught wind of this and that Parra was ok with it, it was going to happen. I assume Ryles has something up his sleeve as MON would probably not and probably wears singlets.
Next few weeks or so could be interesting, and lets not forget…"

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

Can't argue with any of that.
I don't care.
I hope we sign Garrick, Fermor, Keaon and NAS.
From there we let's the kids in.
3 of the 4 i reckon happen. NAS i think definately now.
If we do pull of a spree that includes Garrick and NAS, plus one of either Keaon and or Fermor, this is a monumental victory
Garrick would be a great replacement
