Recruitment and Retention and signings

Ryles states he is is no rush to make signings! I am sorry, but we have an L plate coach who sees no rush? Really, we are second last on a ladder. We will be lucky to avoid the spoon. Unless something changes we have no change on last season, despite the fact that I do see improvements in the squad, but we are still way off the mark.  I am stunned by this statement and we must have so much money available for the right players to improve this squad yet we appear to be doing risky squat! I truly hope there are some things going on in the background but if we keep status quo, we are in a word of pain for years to come. The fact that we still have no decent replacement for Dylan Brown says it all.  I am getting beyond frustrated. We lack serious impact forwards and a quality 6 and centre.  Are we just sitting and hoping or is the Club going to come up with something?  One concerned and frustrated life long eels fan here.

  • If you actually dive deeper and watch our juniors, we don't really need to invest in a big star when we have our own stars we could potentially make. Our juniors are really good.

    • I think this is where we are heading, let's utilise and prioritize our biggest resource. It's surprising how many on here are too impatient or think we should jeopardise this from happening and go down a path we've have already been which has lead to failure. This place is funny, it moves in cycles where people cry out for whatever it is we don't have.

      • You still need to buy some players ...even in the 80s, when we had the best crop of juniors ever, we had to buy forwards.
