Should the Eels retire the number 7 jersey?

Speaking of the curse of the number 7 jersey and always being compared to Sterlo, I'm not sure if there are NRL laws saying we have to have a number 7 jersey, but could we permanently retire that number and use 17 or something instead?

  • Maybe Sterlo kicked a black cat, whilst walking under a ladder & broke a mirror at the same time.

    Superstitions are a hoax.
  • We will be effectively retiring the #7 jersey for the rest of the year, once that guy who is really a #1 but often wears #6 for us pulls on the #7 for the rest of the year.
    • Got it - Hayne............!!!

  • I think Yobz is onto something. How many halfbacks have failed since he left? I suppose you could number the halfback as 3.5 as he would only be half as good as Sterlo (would that then be quarter back?).
  • Norman wore the 7 jersey the week the gog done for his night out.
  • There's no curse when poor management has been involved over the years. We had two of the most talented halves come through our system in Maloney & Hodkinson only to throw them away for Brett Finch.
    • Ok Maloney is an alright half but please hodkinson is not tanleted let alone one of the most talented he would be the 16th best 7 in the comp
  • Maybe we should be looking after our juniors instead of paying ridiculous money (1.2mil) for 7 game . 7 games an omen in itself. Hayne n mist 80's team was a parra juniors enough said
    • How many premierships did hayne win? Who was our last good junior half? Hodkinson? Tim smith? You have to devolp what u have and recruit what you need we just haven't signed one that worked out
  • John simon and jason taylor wore the 7
