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.
"Good point, even if he plays for one year and gets the reported $3mil AUD, he would have needed to play 5 years before seeing that for Parramatta.

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.
