    Forget about Joash.  He's finished

      Same with JAC, he is done.

  • Roy tannous October 18, 2026 at 5:14pm

    Joash and Addo gone

  • Yehez October 18, 2026 at 5:31pm

    Papalii ain't staying I don't think. 

    Also Talagi is not top 30. 

    Take these 2 outs, and assume Addo-Carr stays, we have 27/30. THe additions are clear:

    1 winger, 1 center, 1 fullback. Winger and Fullback can be backup quality, but center needs to be good. Can we get that center for 2027? Unlikely.

    You don't need to be a rocket scientist to work out that we need outside backs, immediately! 

    Howarth plus one or 2 of the B's in 2027/8 would be nice: Best, Bostock, Blaize (achilies), Burton.

 If the Eels have grounds to terminate the foxes contract therefore not having his contract amount on there salary cap,  sacking him is definitely the best option. You don't need to be Einstein to work out that paying someone ( on good money ) who…"
