The Building Of The Eels Team 2015-2016

I know we've all heard of the 5 year plan, and it's been done to death over the last few years.But if you take a close look at the top quality players we have, combined with some talented juniors that we have, plus a few more SMART purchases, this team is less than 5 years away from being complete.Hayne, Hopoate, Peats, Jnr Paulo, Mannah, Pauli and Moeroa are our quality for now and the future.Add in some promising juniors over the next two years: Goodall, Lavaka, Davis, Matterson, Fuimaono, Tanginoa,The finishing touches of a few smart signings: DCE obviously, another Prop is needed (somebody in the Tolman mould)The players to leave over the next year or two: Toutai, Morgan, Tonga, Norman (not earning his keep currently), Sandow, Kelly, Hunt, Lussick, Fui, Mossop, Joseph Paulo and maybe Terepo (he needs to step up).Of course I'd like to keep guys like Sio and Radradra but wingers can be easily replaced most of the time (unless it's Toutai)Basically I am looking forward to seeing what the next 2 years pans out like.

    • No inu and would swop izzy and hoppa. Davis in the centres and gooddall on the wing instead of sio then it's a great backl
    • Back line
    • De gois14 and lussick sacked and mateo is useless these days so would give de gois ago in the 17.
  • Have you given up on Kaysa? You're a hard man, Mr Bean.

    • Needs to get on the field first, Bernie.

    I think we are maybe one seasoned front rower short.
    Backup players ZDC, Pritchard, Morgan, Alvaro, Terepo, Toutai, Davis, Falou, Ualesi.
    This team is possible, there is a massive amount of money tied up in some of these players and over the next two years I would not be re-signing, Sandow, Norman, Paulo, Tonga, Smith, Fui, Mossop, Allgood, Lussick, De Gois and Hunt.

    Make it happen.
  • Why is every person using izzy folau in there team list when he not here until the World Cup rugby and that is if he does comes to parra. I think if the 20's. left or right backs does work as a whole why wouldn't u just promote all 4 players. eg left side in twentys Matterson, Meoroa, Davis & Goodall and I believe with a great pre season training they will bulk and be ready for first grade at a lower cost then paying 4 million dollar DCE or izzy folau at a big cost.
    • As the title says 2015 - 2016, Folau will be finished with the World Cup by then.
  • Bloody Pritchard.

    He would be a great back for a back of a back up.

    Now you've got my back up!
