He is a different style Hooker than Hands but Hands is more steady. But as you say better off just starting Smith as the starting Hooker gets 20 min spell and thats it.
Can't honestly see JAC making that much difference. Really need some good signings. Lane, Offa, Lussick all below average as is Paulo, Brown is too busy counting down the year and the $$ and has his mind elsewhere. Very average side. Really need a few X Factor, mongrel type players to make any dent in this year's premiership. Could take at least 2 years or longer to turn all this around
Fox wont win it for us. But last week if we scored from one of the many opportunities in the first half it could have been a different game. Interested to see how hawkins goes and at least we know the fox can finish
Fingers crossed Hawkins is better than he looked last week in Reggie's. He didn't look like a bloke sufficient for the NRL. Maybe just settling in to a new club. I still hold reservations considering Bennett didn't offer him a contract and went for the young kid from Manly and Sullivan.
"Don't count on o'neill. Utokimanu, Khafusi, Twal, Blaze, Sanders - the best of our junior talent . Good luck with hoping O'neill has an eye for talent. "
"I have been told that Perth Bears scouts have been attending eels junior games of recent and circling on some of our juniors. So maybe expect some announcements soon of them poaching our juniors. O'Niel better have locked the best ones up long term."
"So 8 years isn't enough??? Ok.if we didn't have the right players in our development systems, why didn't we recruit young players from elsewhere just as Penrith did from country league, or identified from other clubs and brought into our flegg or…"
"Stefano was already progressing through our systems as a future elite before O'neill arrived. Was lost to the Tigers when o'neill arrived at Parramatta. Thats another stuff up on O'neill's resume."

Yea true but I don't think Lussick will make a difference

Eels 13 plus
🤔 maybe 🤔
JAC should make a huge difference. Russell and Penisini together are a massive liability

Tigers were so much faster than us out wide. Jac brings some much needed speed. Between penisi, samrani and russell we had a very slow backline
Agree Jiver, get Simmo on the other wing when he is fit
