I see everyone posting teams but are awful and are completely way off the mark. Here is a truly realistic top 17 for next season.
- Isiah Iongi
- Josh Addo Carr
- Will Penisini
- Zac Lomax
- Bailey Simmonson/ Sean Russell
- Dylan Brown
- Mitchell Moses (c)
- Joe Ofanghue
- Brendan Hands
- Junior Paulo
- Shaun Lane
- Bryce Cartwright
- J’maine Hopgood
- Joey Lussick
- Jack Williams
- Ryan Matterson
- Kelma Tuilagi
Reserves
Wiremu Greig
Matt Doorey
Luca Moretti
Sam Tuivaiti
Dean Hawkins
Joash Papalii
Haze Dunster
Toni Mataele
Development
Charlie Guymer I’d say 18/19/20th player
Richard Penisini
Saxon Pryke
The only changes would be if Paulo went back to his bench role impact & if ryles wants lane as a middle then Kelma would start in the second row position.
What do you think guys?

Take Dunster out of the centres, change him with Tago (a better centre than a winger, your words EA) and play Alamadine or Penisini on the wing.
Richie is in front of Alamadine in the pecking order based on their type of contract and training. Dunster will be chosen in front of them though. He has had a horrible run of injuries and even health issues. I know he most likely wont return to his best espcially his speed. However, he was actually a centre coming through the grades.
Yes, I think Tago is a better centre than winger, but in the NRL I see Tago's main chance is on the wing. So I rather Tago get the experience in cup on the wing if he is called up to FG. Russel and Simmo (moved to centre) are in front of Tago in the pecking order for centres I believe.
I am hearing another signing this week or next -a hooker not sure who
That would be climatic
Lol
We are still 2 quality signings away from the top 4 unfortunatlely
Agreed and both of them in the forward pack.
I think the Eels have a top 17 players that should play finals football, however, the depth available from player 18 through to 30 is a major weakness.
I see Ryles blooding a few kids as a few of our 17 are getting on soon. We have better depth with a view for the future.
At this stage, the current Round 1 team could be this, if no other changes.
1. Iongi
2. Simonsson
3. Penisini
4. Lomax
5. Addo-Carr
6. Brown
7. Moses
8. Ofahengaue
9. Hands
10. Paulo
11. Lane
12. Tuilagi
13. Hopgood
14. Papali'i
15. Matterson
16. Williams
17. Cartwright
I know some say Lane will be middle. I am not sure to be fair whether he will be or not, just do not know. But for now leaving him on an edge.
LB you have JAC at 5 for round 1 thought he won't be available till round 3 due to suspension. Sorry if im mistaken
