The Eels could do worse than consider signing Brisbane`s Cory Oats. He is unhappy playing winger and wants to play second row. Bennett has tried him at second row but thinks he is more value to the team as a winger. Oats is tall and fast, something the Eels need in the forwards. It seems possible that Oats would move to another club to get a 2nd row gig. Rumour has it that the Storm and Souths are interested in him. Would anyone come to the Eels the way we are performing? Unlikely but you never know until you try.

Not sure about this one. Bennet wont play him there because he is too soft for backrow. That is the last thing we need. Be a good signing for the wing though.
"Bennett took a swipe at Oates when he said he needed to “toughen up” to play back row and he risked being shunted to reserve grade if the move didn’t work out."

Yep good replacement for Semi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What an idiot, he's a definite starter for QLD on the wing and one of the top contenders for Aus on the wing scoring all those tries but he wants to play in a position that he wont even make a starting 17 in most NRL teams... FMD
They could carpool to the surgery
He'd be a step up from how Manu Mau is playing at the moment
If the storm want him game over he going there but would take him better then ones we got
1. A damaging middle forward
2. A dynamic edge forward (Oates fits bill)
3. A big strong winger
Last thing we need is a soft Edge Forward with poor ball skills. He does not want to play on the wing because teams are putting him under pressure with high kicks.
