Dont believe a word Anasta says but its done so hope he plays well while he is here, or Joash steps up and takes his place.

I call this bullshit and if Ryles claims this he's just another bulshitter and not a straight shooter at all

We have him for a season enjoy the ride. If he kicks the winning field goal against the Storm first round we'll all say what a master stoke.

We must really really have some talent in our next gen pathways. Looking forward to that, actually long term strategy plays a huge part here. If youngsters feel they will get a shot at first grade, then they are more likely to come to the Eels as 15 / 16 year olds when recruited.

Over time that means we get first look at exceptional juniors. Long term a great strategy. Just hope they are ironing our the wrinkles when it comes to re signing them for first grade and not losing them like we seem to do hand over fist.

Short term we have a bit of pain and we have to take a breath whilst we get our house in order, I guess.

Im not sure how much we can trust every word Anasta has said. He has been very fluid with his comments, i've heard him state Parra wanted him longer, i've heard him state Parra only wanted him for one year. All I know is that we have a very good foil for Mitch this year and the oppurtunity that they will create for our backs is going to be good to watch. Whether our backs can capitalise as a complete unit remains to be seen.

It was explained at the time, but some here still had their own thoughts & like most of the time the people here were wrong.

"Gents, which is true: we want or wanted Lomax long-term or we don't?
And one more: If your ten partners before your wife didn't work out, is your wife your 11th choice? "

"I think getting Cody Black was astute. Competition. Depth. Raise average footy IQ. Both hungry for FG. Let's see which one rises to the throne long-term: Sanders or Black? "

"I don't think Sticky has ever developed a halfback. Sanders seemed to have a solid NSW Cup season. 19 games, 6 tries, 15 try assists. 88% tackle efficiency, 52avg run metres, 153 avg kick metres."
