"We certainly have been poor in recruitment for many many years. I certainly don't have a wrap on the current R &R committee . But it is such a tough environment . Our salary cap turmoil has our club hyper vigilant to auditing, compliance ,…"
"I think the comparison to big Ben Smith is a good one the penguin was under rated as a centre and backrower injuries cost him a couple of seasons. Samrani is pretty similar "
"It's a good point FM. I often think about a stat from the old NRL Under 20s comp (Toyota cup?). Only 5% of players in that comp went on to play more than 50 NRL games. Early hype is no guarantee of a long NRL career."

Canberra can offer Sanders something we cannot, full-time FG in 2024.
That alone convinces him. If we keep him then great but he's still only going to be a back-up, even then Asi would get first nod at replacing Brown or Moses.
Just time to move on, cannot keep them all, we have our future halves.
Looking at what Ricky has done to Savage and other young talent still waiting for a shot in nsw cup Sanders should be very wary. They've also just signed weakes to play 5/8.
if I'm the eels I probably do look for a player swap with raiders but for one of their better backs.
Being the Eels Messiah - the halfback we have been waiting for since Sterling is better than what Canberra can offer - if he is good enough. Does not look like we will break the drought before he plays NRL and whoever leads us to the next Premiership will be an immortal
Cause being hailed the next Sterlo has never caused young Eels halves any problems, has it ?
Bob O'Reilly made his first grade debut at 18 years old. Geoff Starling was 18 when he played for Australia. I have read all the arguments against throwing coin at Sanders but just like a house, the value is what someone else is prepared to pay. There is also the problem of putting bums on seats next year after a shit year this year. Dylan to fullback, Sanders to half and Gutho to centres. That will help to put bums on seats. Moses on one side of the field and Sanders on the other. Kicking options on both sides at any time. That is a dangerous side taking shape and will put bums on seats. Still need some outside men. We don't need to overthink this. Get it done.
this is doable and definitely will get bums on seats. however i dont think BA will agree to this
Yes. Although be prepared for the 'Moses and Brown cannot be separated' crowd.
Brown can play centre and leave Gutho at the back.
I've always said that Moses should play 6 and we can play Sanders at 7.
Sanders may not be something special but he just maybe is ...
So you are happy with the crap our team served up this year? I am not. Things need to change
👍
Hugo's plan sounds good if Sanders stays and shows he has it at NRL level. If not halves don't change.
