  Plenty of experienced SL players haven't been able to cut it in the NRL. Of course, one of the key factors is whether they sign with us or not.

  SL hasn't been a happy hunting ground for Eels recruitment over the years...

  There are 4 big clubs in the SL who win everything (Leeds, Hull, Wigan, St Helens), then there is a big gap to the rest. Hall played for one of those big 4. Hard to tell how much influence he has as a winger, and if he woukd have influenced similar success if he joined one of the smaller clubs

  There appear to be two archetypes of the modern winger. One who acts as an extra forward coming out of your own end zone and otherwise practices to be a gymnast performing acrobatic put downs in the corner after short runs in the opposition end zone. That’s Ryan. The other is the elusive runner who is expected to bob up everywhere and be a utility if needed, and is often an attacking threat from your own 40 and/or an aerial threat at the other end; the one terrorizing Ryan by flying over him or out-pacing him. That’s Fergo. Hopefully BA going after Fergo is an indication that BA knows he needs to beef up our attack and that Ferguson has shown this year he can be both archetypes at once (he did not make Origin only because of past behavior not form).

  Hall 2 or 3 years ago - certainly. Hall now, maybe a year contract or so but he’s slowed down a bit. Still built like a Sherman Tank though and get him one on one on the line and it’s try time

  Great winger in England = Average Winger in NRL

  Ferguson will be about the best thing to happen to Eels for years. He doesn't need players around him to create attack. He is extremely strong and fast and I would not be whinging. Perhaps Hall is a short term fix who knows. I am very surprised they let Ferguson go as he is a valuable player.
