Parramatta Eels have named Tim Mannah and Beau Scott as co-captains for the 2018 season.

Both players led with distinction in 2017 and have been rewarded with the captaincy again this season.

“Tim and Beau were inspirational in their leadership last year both on and off the field. They’re highly respected by the playing group and I look forward to seeing them continue to drive a high standard for their teammates” said Head Coach, Brad Arthur.

Parramatta Eels stalwart Tim Mannah said it was a huge honour to lead his team and praised his co-captain Beau Scott for his impact.

“Beau and I have a great partnership, we get along really well and work well together. We’re fortunate to have him in our team and I’m looking forward to leading a strong campaign alongside him this year,” said Tim.

“This Club is such a big part of my life, I’m privileged to have great mentors who have helped develop my leadership, and also lucky to have a playing squad including senior players who help make my role easier as a leader,” he added.

Beau is also excited about the future of the Club “I'm honoured to be named co-captain. We’ve learnt a lot of lessons from last year, and I’m looking forward to the 2018 season and leading the Club with Tim,” said Beau Scott.

"I can live with it and I don't think Pezet will be a lemon.The only thing that'll hold him back is injury.I have a sneaking suspicion he'll go well and the only real concern I have is the rinse wash repeat cycle we have going in 27 around the…"

"A family friend played against him in a touch footy competition. His coach mentioned Brett Kenny, a local kid that has been signed by Parramatta is playing against them and to watch him, family friend say "oh please, I worry about myself they have…"

"Kurupt…there’s a great article in the magazine below about the Eels and Rabbits getting down and dirty. Final score 31-20, however, I won’t spoil who dominated who."

Obvious choices. Tim is a great role model on and off the field and you can tell Beau is a leader on the field.

Well I guess that means BOTH Timmy & Scott will definitely be in the FG team, Tim will definitely be a starting Prop & Scott on the bench as a middle forward, he is too slow elsewhere.

The 2018 bench looks like Scott & either Alvaro or Evans as the other middle forward and if Taka is to be a starting edge forward re this weeks selections, then that leaves Edwards & Tep who will be used as what? middle forward?

Based on a lot of pre-season posts, a lot of B&G fans r going to be disappointed.
