Welll that was quickly put to bed. Be interested to see which forwards JR keeps and which ones he lets go to accomodate the juniors coming through the grades.

Uncontracted list for 2026:
Now Doorey & W Penisini should be officially announced soon?
I would let Volkman, Mataele, Matto and Tuilagi walk. Coinakis, Popo, Talagi, Petrus to replace them in 2027.
Latu & Jez already top 30 in 2027 and Renzo 2028.
Matt Doorey's resigned for two more years...I welcome that news
What about Koina EA?
Haven't seen enough of him since he came over from qld and yet to play for eels themselves. The Aussie schoolboy game isn't enough to give a proper opinion. But for now I think he is below Popo and Talagi, especially if you looking at 2027
Copy that mate! And anything of that Hudson fella we signed?
Not sure whats going on with him. Kept dropping in and out of the JF team throughout the year with Coinakis and Spence used at hooker as well. His attack is decent but defensively not that strong. I don't think he will make it.
Looks like the conveyor belt is starting to produce the goods. Hopefully that get's better and better over time. That means we'll be constanly losing players, but adding new faces should help to reinvigorate the team each year. The aim should be to have a better squad that the previous year.
Mataele had been unfortunate with injuries. He was expected to be the under study of Paulo. But Tuivati and Guymer just overtook him in development.
Thats why I think the club will let him leave in 2027. Seems like people just keep overtaking him on the pecking order.
More so Mataele was meant to be our next boom back-rower. His defence could never really get sorted and shifted to the middle. Could very well be a 1 game wonder for us.
